From OMG! Ubuntu!
It seems that the latest version of Microsoft’s OS has attention issues. Not content with forcing itself on users who didn’t want it, it may be taking even more drastic steps of hosing other operating systems entirely!
A handful of reports surfacing on social media suggest, anecdotally, that the Windows 10 anniversary may interfere with, affect and even delete other partitions on the same disk.
If these claims are accurate —and do keep in mind that various different factors may be at play in these cases — it would be a pretty shocking situation.
Broken boot loaders on an update are one thing (even expected) but losing data, even entire partitions? That’s a whole other kettle of krappé.

There’s no official word from Microsoft on any of the reported issues and it would be remiss to not point out (again) that these could be isolated incidents or issues affecting certain setups only.Yes, these could be isolated incidents. Even if they're not, this could simply be the result of incompetence on Microsoft's part, and not anything malicious. All of that could be true. But given how aggressively anti-consumer and anti-choice Microsoft has been this past year, I don't think anyone at Redmond should be surprised to see people reacting poorly to this latest issue.
