MediaMonkey forum

I have been ripping to FLAC for years with no problem. Recently, Windows 10 installed itself in the guise of an "Update" and I am seeing things I just don't believe. Example: I start ripping an audio disk. I watch a Windows Explorer window while It rips. The Album artist folder and the album title folder appear like always. But... the tracks appear for a while and then disappear. Poof! In the end all I have in the two folders, no FLAC files.
Last night, I noticed Windows Defender has taken up residence without my knowledge. Since I have Bitdefender running, I turned it off. You can't remove it any more. It turned itself back on and silently began deleting files. I liked some of those files!
Is this the same thing? I am trying to avoid unjustified paranoia here, so I thought I'd ask if there is anyone else out there with the same problem. Does MM come for Linux?

No linux version .. Win10 seems to be working quite well here though I have not done any ripping with MMW since getting Win10

No problems like that with Windows 10 either.

Did you do a full PC search for those files? Maybe a media program is auto-moving them (MediaMonkey can be set to do so too) to a different location.
