Windows 10: Document Lost after update

Good Afternoon

Excuse my English, I am Afrikaans. I need urgent help. I am a teacher who updated my windows last week. Since I updated some of my documents have just disappeared out of some of my folders. It is documents that I urgently need back. When I go to WORD and select open it displays the document it in the list of recent document, however it says the documents has been moved, deleted or renamed.

I absolutely did not delete, renamed or move any of it. I also checked my dustbin folder, but it is empty. As the one document where I keep the notes of our meetings in the morning I use everyday. What do I do now? How do I solve this problem?

Lost documents after Windows update.

Here are two suggestions:

• Have a look in the folder C:\Windows.old\Users\MjKoval\Documents.

Implement a robust backup scheme. If you have very important documents then they must be stored on two independent media.
Do not wait until they are lost.

 

I lost my documents after the windows 10 upgraded, which seems that it roll back to the previous version months ago.

Hi,

It is possible that you're unable to find your documents because it was hidden or move where they are saved before after the update. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

• Are you able to backup your files before the update?
• Does your OneDrive files sync to your computer before update?

In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps in this article on how to find lost files after the
update to Windows 10. You can expand each section and perform the instructions.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.

Hi

Change the settings in folder options to show the quick access menu. I assume this is what you mean?
Post back if not

• Open the File Explorer.
• Tap on View and click on Options.
• Change the option Open File Explorer to: from "This PC" to "Quick Access"
