Window 10 Updates, updates drivers of your pc, sometimes messing everything up.
You can't choose what you want to update
You can't choose when to update
There is a lot some things you can't avoid
Even when it might be a bad idea to do something, I would like to have the possibility to do it.

...or so it said. How confident are you it actually did the right thing? I'd be doing a binary compare, or doing hashes on both ends.
Even if it did...it's definitely not the sort of thing I'd ever intentionally let happen.

Oh, don't worry. It won't work for much longer.
It's because of the delayed write feature, which buffers the data that's being copied -- which, in turn, allows it to be "hibernated" in the pagefile.
But that's useful technology, so they're removing it.

I am absolutely confident. I posted that the copy completed successfully only when I knew that it had completed successfully.

The only pleasant surprise I ever got from winio was when I was getting ready to rant about the option to configure what shows and dosn't show in the system tray being removed.
It turns out that you can just drag and drop the icons, now, which is an actual improvement.
But it also turns out that that was a windows 8 feature.

Sigh. Read that in the document for an API. Backwards from every other API I've ever dealt with recently.

Indeed.
Or this:
a field that allows NNN-NNN-NNNN for the phone number is marked as "numeric". I guess dashes are now numbers.

Clearly, those are not dashes, but operators. The result is obviously a negative whole number!

Depends on whether or not the field requires all the digits regardless of value. Yeah I know there's a term for that but I don't care enough to look it up.
999-001-0001 = 997

Not worth the effort, you say?
I agree absolutely.

What happened to parameters marked that way that were pointers?

Your attempts at humor are a little too indirect for me.

(I don't care one way or the other towards facebook)
The link page is one of the worse FB page; the linked link is a phishing or hacked site.
Rage, have you been hacked ?
I'd rather be phishing!

 Nothing special here, it is just a normal website - verified, and the corporate securities did not find anything. I have removed my post anyway, thanks for the hint. Still a mystery to me though. Sure that you have no problem on your side ?

The web content was a clothing/shoe store.

Gee, you're right - that is terrifying! 
The Beer Prayer - Our lager, which art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, I will be drunk, at home as it is in the tavern. Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

I can just sit the missus down in front of one, and she's off my back, for a while!

French Speakers Out There . . .
. . . the language is dying - I suggest you find an alternative and bale as soon as possible. Anything will do as your plan be (as an upgrade from your current 'plan C'). Rundi, perhaps? Or the more popular Kinyarwanda? Or good ol' pig-latin[^] - least traumatic change available.
Just trying to be helpful!

How about Nahuatl? Some really nice words, like tomato or chocolate come from this languge.
