    Computer deletes shortcuts, some game saves, wiped my wallpaper, etc.


    This has been happening for about a week or 2, about every time I boot up it delete all my accounts, replaces chrome with edge, and deletes all my steam games' shortcuts and some data, among other things. I posted a thread last week, but it got deleted somehow. One guy suggested system restore, but it still deleted the shortcuts and a midclick yesterday resulted in the lost of a whole Monday afternoon's worth of Satisfactory progress and I'm just done at this point.

    delete demo games

    If you don't want to see them everyday, you can remove their shortcuts from the games folder.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    • open file explorer
    • go to windows folder
    • go to start menu
    • go to programs>games
    • delete the game's shortcut from there by tapping-n-holding on the shortcut

    Computer deletes shortcuts, some game saves, wiped my wallpaper, etc.

    unable to change the lock screen Wallpaper.

    Hi,

    I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.


    • What is the exact issue that you are facing?

    • Are you facing issues while trying to change the lock screen Wallpaper?

    • Are you not able to choose the directory where the wallpapers has been saved?
    As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to restart the computer and check if you are able to successfully change the lock screen wallpaper.


    • From Desktop, right click and select
      Personalize      .

    • In Personalization window, click on
      Lock Screen       in the left pane.

    • And choose wallpaper you would like to apply for the lock screen by choosing the browse option.

    • Close the Personalization window.
    If the issue still persists, please do reply with the required information. We will be glad to assist you.
