  1. Uninstalling One Drive caused issue in File Explorer


    I clean installed Windows 3/4 days ago but not even once opened One Drive, rather disabled it from Startup Apps asap after installation was completed. I don't use One Drive. But I kept it installed anyways until yesterday I thought why keep things I don't use. So, I uninstalled OneDrive from Settings, and an error came up that explorer.exe had stopped working. Then I opened my file explorer and found that my Documents folder is gone from Quick Access. It's not pinned in the Quick Access anymore, nor does it exists in C:\Users\$USERNAME\ path.Can anyone help me with a solution please and also

    :)

  2. Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

    Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

    Steps to confirm issue:

    • Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
    • Secondary drive not visible in device manager
    • Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

    Steps to replicate issue:

    • Installing 1909 update

    Steps to resolve issue:

    • Uninstall 1909 update

    Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

  3. File Explorer Visual Glitch

    Hello,

    Let us isolate your concern by answering the questions below:

    • Have you made any changes to the computer software prior to this?
    • Have you tried to select a different file outside the File Explorer window to check if the issue persists?
    In the meantime, we suggest that you perform a clean boot and check if the issue persists. If performing a clean
    boot
    on your device resolves your concern, it means that a third party software is causing the issue. We suggest that you uninstall or disable them. The steps on how to perform a clean
    boot
    are provided on this link.

    We are looking forward to your response.
