    After restoring from a Restore Point, my Public Documents folders is changed.


    In Windows 10, I wrote a little desktop app and I store user data in C:\Users\Public\Documents\MyCoolApp\I thought that Windows System Restore didn't touch this area. But am i wrong?I just recovered from a restore point and my folder contents have been reverted.Ideas?

    Hi bigpete14

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    A Window system restore will generally not affect user data, but will remove application entries and settings created for software installed after the date of the Restore Point date, for software installed prior to the restore date, this should no happen.

    It would be best to store user data for your software in the individual users folders rather than the Public Documents folder
