    Windows 10 Deletes all downloads, documents, images, backgrounds, etc. Whenever updated


    Whenever my computer updates, it deletes all my files. It deletes all of my backgrounds, pictures, documents, videos, and makes me sign in again for everything.



    I am not on a temporary account.


    I have some very important things that i keep on my laptop for school and other things, and would like to find out how to fix this so that it doesn't delete things anymore. I rely on this computer for many things and really need it to stop this asap.


    What do I do?

    :)

    Windows 10 forced download

    ^This, then reboot and go to manually update windows. Find KB3035583 in the list of available updates, right-click and "Hide this update" so it doesn't get installed again next go around.

    Windows 10 forced download

    To stop the download, uninstall the KB3035583 update (under "Control Panel > Windows Update > Installed Updates").


    To get rid of the C:\$Windows.~BT folder:
    • Right-click on your C: drive.
    • Select "Properties".
    • Click on [ Disk Cleanup ]
    • After the initial scan: If you have a [ Clean up system files ] button, click it and wait for the second scan to finish.
    • Scroll down the list and look for "Temporary Windows installation files" (its size should be in the gigabytes range); check the box.
    • Click on [ OK ] to start the clean-up.
