  1. All Favourites have disappeard


    Hello, everyone

    First of all, I am not technically-minded so forgive my stumbles. I can type on a PC and that is my limit of technical knowledge.

    Since Windows 10 updated my PC to a bright and shiny edition with the new Edge etc., (around a month or so ago) all of my Favourites (usually accessed using the Star pages icon on the top right), Bookmarks and others that were on the list menu that appeared - have gone - disappeared - nothing there at all. It is as if they had never existed. There were lots and lots of Favourites - all gone. How can I find and restore them to their rightful place, please?

    I have tried contacting a Microsoft Help Agent but to no avail. As rare as hen's teeth.

    :)

  2. Windows 10 My Favourites list is gone!

    I have loaded up Windows 10 and my favourites list is gone. This is pretty frustrating as I had a big list of favourites built up over a couple of years for work and my own personal browsing. I tried the adive offered by Krishna to Maggie in the forum which
    was:

    "I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps to restore the favourites.

    • Click This PC
    • Type %userprofile% into the Address bar
    • Press Enter on your keyboard
    • Right click the Favorites folder
    • Click Properties
    • Click Previous Versions
    • Wait for the list of previous versions to load
    • Select a version that was before you lost the files/folders
    • Click Restore."
    When I got to step 6 my previous versions list showed only today. Surely the loading of Windows 10 has not wiped out my Favourites? What can I do from here?
