  1. KB4532693 Woes


    I have a PC that recently updated and i have a load of folders on the desktop with photos and documents in them. After the update some of the folders are deleted and are not in my recycle bin which goes back to July 2019. i followed a guide online that said reboot the machine 4 times to see if it fixed things and then to remove the update if not.

    None of this has worked and i have used Recuva to scan the disk for my files with no success.


    I can see one of the offending files in My MS Word recently used files lists yet when i click Open it says the location you are trying to reach does not exist ......


    Articles online mention the files being moved to a temporary profile by the update but i cannot see this. It seems to be a common enough issue but no firm resolve or acknowledgement/fix from MS.


    Computers are based on logic however this behaviour defies it thats for sure any one any ideas.

    TIA

    :)

    KB4532693 and 4244 fix

    I uninstalled the updates Friday night. I have rebooted several times. I do not see my files.

    I thought I paused my updates and yet KB4534132 and KB4532693 were installed on 02/15/20. I will uninstall 2693 now.
