    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    How can I get the extension to display along with the name of the file on my desktop?

    Removing file extensions

    I have 200 documents that I have individually renamed, without the file extension. Suddenly today, every document has a file extension on it (.docx). The problem is that the extension takes up room in how the name displays - as it only displays so many digits. So now half the name of the docs aren't displayed and some longer names are totally obscured. All I did was go into those folders and print off a couple of those documents. Suddenly there they were - the extensions. On every document.

    How do I get rid of the file extensions all together, in one step? There's no way I want to keep renaming each individual document each time this happens. Thanks for any help.

    I'm on a Mac Sonoma 14.4.1 with Windows 10.
