Last month, Bleeping Computer, a computer bug-related website, revealed the risk of data loss on storage drives formatted as NTFS on some computers due to a bug in the Windows 10 operating system. The website also states that this error can be triggered when accessing a path or opening a file.
According to a report on Bleeping Computer, the bug could corrupt data on NTFS-formatted hard drives, using only a single command line that can be executed by a Command Prompt, even for a less privileged user. . The command line can also be hidden in .zip or .bat files.

Once this error has taken effect, the Windows operating system will receive an error message stating, "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable," as it enters the path to the file, and the drive will be marked as corrupted. Therefore, the Windows operating system asks the user to restart the computer, run the chkdsk command and repair the relevant drive.
Although Microsoft claims that chkdsk can fix this problem, studies on Bleeping Computer have shown that once the bug is activated, Windows will not reboot.
However, it was reported that Microsoft was supposed to fix this bug last February, but it was only released for users of Windows 10 Insider build. Windows 10 Insider build 21322 includes an undocumented solution to issues such as "The directory name is invalid" and NTFS drives being marked as corrupt. Therefore, it is expected that Microsoft will release a solution for all Windows 10 users in the future.
Last month, Microsoft released a new emergency update to fix a BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) error when connecting to Wi-Fi networks on some Windows 10 computers. This problem has been associated with computers that have installed the latest version of WPA3 Security, especially for Wi-Fi networks, but only a small number of users have been affected.
