    desktop lost its network mind


    File Explorer on my desktop cannot see any network computers.
    FE can see other devices - media
    My NAS is a computer and a media device so it sees the media but not the NAS.
    Other computers see everything including the desktop - and can open them.
    I toggled Network Discovery - no help, but now FE is showing only media devices and printers with no headings.

    If I type in the \\NAS.......it will open the NAS or computer.

    It has been working, what changed?

    :)

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

      option.

    • Follow the on screen instructions.

    • After the troubleshooting is complete, close the window and check if the issue is resolved.


    Method 2: If the issue persist, update theNetwork Adapter driver manually from
    Device Manager by following the steps below:
