    Apps, Games, Pictures, And Other Files Gone


    Today, I logged into my windows account to be greeted with a default windows background instead of my background that I previously put there, also most of the apps I had installed were gone, as well as all pictures, and files were gone. I also couldn't open Microsoft store. Please help me fix this problem.

    :)

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

    Hi zLC Knowz,

    Saving a file restriction is one of the possible reasons why you are unable to record games and save files. For me to properly assist you, I need to collect more information. Kindly answer the questions below:

    • Are you having this concern when saving any kinds of files?

    Step 2: Delete temporary files.

    • Click Start and click Settings.
    • Select System.
    • Select Storage.
    • Select This PC.

    Picture files gone missing

    Hi,

    One potential reason why your picture files went missing is due to a system file corruption. Let's analyze some details to address this accordingly. Please answer the following questions:

    • Do you remember making any hardware or software changes on your device before this issue occurred?
    • Do you have other user accounts added on the PC? If yes, reproduce the issue by verifying if you encounter the same thing using another profile.
    • What procedures have you done so far to rectify the issue?

    Meanwhile, we suggest using the File History to locate and restore these pictures. This tool automatically backs up versions of your files that can aid in restoring your lost data. See this article: File
    History in Window    s     for the procedures. The steps on the link hold the same in Windows 10.

    We will be waiting for your reply so we can move forward to resolving your concern.
