Microsoft has published a workaround for a bug where Samsung Galaxy Connect app caused users to lose access to their C:\ drive after a Windows security update. The fix requires administrator access, uninstalling the Samsung apps, changing ownership of all C:\ files to 'Everyone', creating and running a batch file to restore correct permissions, then restarting. Microsoft and Samsung collaborated to validate the steps. The issue has been marked 'Resolved', suggesting no automated patch is coming, leaving affected users to perform the manual multi-step recovery themselves.
