Die Patch-Days in Windows 10 are not held for no reason. Next new functions security gaps are closed and bugs fixed. A resourceful user now has over Twitter announced a vulnerability that has existed in Windows 10 since version 1809 and can even lead to the destruction of the file system.

If this is called, no matter in which form, the system crashes with an error message regarding your hard drive. Administrator rights are not even required. A file system repair via “chkdsk“is no longer possible in the worst case.
