It was major news [1], but afaik it "only" wiped all user data. Which quite frankly is just as bad. [1] https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-october-2018-

  That's terrible, I thought that Microsoft had a somewhat better QA program. Though to be fair that is not what i would call wiping out the system drive, because you are still able to boot into Windows and similar things do happen on other operating systems.

    > I thought that Microsoft had a somewhat better QA program. They did. In 2014, they eliminated their extensive and effective separate testing positions as part of a large layoff/restructuring. Supposedly, testing was going to be consolidated in engineering, and not eliminated, but the proof is in the pudding: Windows releases since then have had big problems that feel like they should have been caught and fixed before release.
