When we started Minecraft Launcher today, it was showing as being updated to 1.16 but never prompted for us to download the latest version. Then looking at the Installations everything saved was all GONE. WTH?? How could this have slipped through QA and how did you manage to get it updated without prompting? Now we have to reach out to all the server owners and get the connection details again.

yes, but I lost all the installations. I had forge, fabric and spigot installations that got wiped and replaced with 1.16 snapshot and 1.16 release.

Your game, launcher or server is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
If you have problems on large servers, such as The Hive and Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.

Sorry but you are wrong. The Minecraft Launcher is the official Minecraft Launcher and not anything modified. All the installations (previous versions of Minecraft connections) were all deleted. That's due directly from the release of 1.16.
Installations are only the versions we want to start the client under and that is POST clicking on PLAY button. I did test on a vanilla laptop and the installations on it was also removed and only 1.16 was there (which I didn't install).
We use other launchers Twitch, Technic etc for getting into those releases. This upgrade should not have deleted any previously saved installations, but it did.
Okay - so now not only did you delete the installations with the Minecraft Launcher release of 1.16, you somehow are automatically pushing out other updates (1.16.1 showed up today). My Installations (versions) are there, but now you deleted all my multiplayer server connections. Come on guys what are you doing?
I don't appreciate you pushing out any changes to my computer without my consent first - that's just WRONG. Second, deleting our data is a breach of security and my personal information. Both should never happen. Please explain why both of these are happening and what's being done to fix them.
installations show what versions you can launch from the launcher. you have to open the actual game and go into multiplayer to see the server list
