Examine more closely, once the update, Windows chose to replicate all my document folders.
Ah yes, THAT bug.. never fixed since Windows 7. If I am not mistaken, it happens for those who moved these folders to another location. The fix is simple, and that is to change the location the folder points to the folder back to the correct location again. What I mean, is that if you right-click on 1 of the Images folder (for example), one of them will be a standard folder, and the other will be Account folder, where you'll notice "Location" tab in the properties panel. I don't know how to replicate the issue exactly. But based on experience, it seems to occur when the account re-creation is done during the upgrade process, and the HDD isn't ready from spinning up, and Windows times out too quickly, thinking the HDD is gone, and recreate the folders, and doesn't double check what it is doing to where it would notice that it has 2x Images folder, and 2x of the rest. What is annoying in the whole thing, is that there is no way to avoid it by telling the HDD to not to spin down when not used during the upgrade process (as it isn't in use, the drive is only).
