KFR allows users to change the location of predefined Windows folders, so they can move to another drive. However, to be affected by the bug, the user must preserve the original version of the predefined file and place it in the folder.

According to an official blog post, the giant of this technology has had fewer Windows users affected by this issue. That is, less than 1% (or 0.0001%) of all installations. At the time the bug was discovered, the October 2018 update was only available to users who manually clicked on the & # 39; Update confirmation & # 39; button in their Windows settings, and Microsoft helped minimize the impact.
