Windows 10: Can't Find My Music

I am using Media Monkey on my PC. I am able to see the location of some of my music however when I navigate to the folder C:\Users\Stu\Music there is nothing there.

Anyone know what in sam hell is going on?

I am really beginning to hate Windows 10.

HELP

:)

 

Cortana can't find my music

Oh my gosh this is driving me crazy. I used to use this feature constantly. Recently other thing have been happening, such as windows not even recognizing that I have a built in mic.

 

Cortana can't find my music

Thanks for your reply Dave.

I now see that this question applies to "Cortana for PC".

I dind't mention in my previous post but I'm trying this on my Lumia 650, where I don't have the "Music on this PC" option. I'll try searching/posting this topic on a different thread.

 

If you did an upgrade install look and see if you have a C:/Windows.old folder. Look in there.

 

Stuff like this, should of made a backup, if read tutorials told you to in case of before upgrade to backup all. Hopefully it should be in old folder.

 

It's not there....Ah well...I guess they're gone...I'll have to restore them from google play

Thanks anyways.

 

Always backup, a lesson learned, sorry went that way for you. download them again ?

 

Have you tried doing a search on your PC, I doubt very much that they're gone.

 

sorry you lost them Sparker781. I upgraded 4 computers so far and didn't lose anything. It shouldn't have happened . But, as we all know with computers, they have a mind of their own.

 

This is why for many years now I always maintain 4 separate drives. Windows, Games, Music and Basic Storage

 

4 drives inside PC or external ? Size of external drives these days, they sure can accompany all this on one drive (Games, music, basic storage and a windows image) , also might be o.k. have a second backup in case first one fails.

 

It took me a while to find them but i found mine they are there look again i doubt they are gone.

 

Internal

Back in the day I use to run single drives with partitions and had a couple fail on me and lost everything... so just a habit now to have 4 x 500GB drives. Also nice in the event like a couple months back... had my primary fail and a week later a second one failed... so I had the other 2 to fall back on since I'm laid off work and no $$$ to replace them right now. Lasted me 7 yrs but I should have stuck with Western Digital and instead opted to try out Seagate Barracudas for the first time and these things have never ran all that well since day 1...

 

Do you still have the Windows.Old folder?

If so, you can still navigate it and see if the music files are there under C:\Users... The data should still be there if the folder hasn't been deleted.

Let us know.

 

o.k. i understand how you may like to do it, just wow, 4 drives internal. Rather have external make them up to 5TB now. Always have another external, put a system image on one. Like WD instead of Seagate. Well with luck you had at that time, few failures, when i used HDD rarely ever in my years had one fail, seems odd yes, just close to failure increasing bad sectors, then i knew to replace soon . Keep defragging to a minimum.
