Until 2 days ago, I would have been with you, Bob.

My laptop crashed big time after this month's update. Not exactly sure what happened but the error message I saw was the hard drive died. The only thing different than any other day was my landline phone rang. It was plugged into the same power outlet as the laptop. Could be it, I don't know.

4 hours later and a system restore seems to fix it.

No the hard drive is fine.

Microsoft needs to be a bit more sure before releasing things. And, yes, the laptop is no longer plugged into that outlet.
