Windows 10: catastrophic error -- 5 Pages lost! How to repair?

I worked on a lengthy document all day yesterday. After storing it, I went back into it and the five most recently typed pages were missing. I had a red X on my list of locations and when I clicked on it, it said "Catastrophic error." I'm in a panic trying to find my missing page!

• Have you tried to use the USB Drive and create a new folder on a different PC?

Hi, you might try this:

or the free cautious repair tool

Otherwise I suggest- assuming your disk and file system are sound-
an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all progs, data and most settings

You need an iso of the same base language and build- freely downloadable.

I would also suggest you to run the System update readiness command. It detects incorrect manifests, cabinets or registry data, it may replace the incorrect data with corrected version available. Follow the steps.

  In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
  

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter
