Windows 10: Documents and pictures have disappeared

I have an HP Pavilion laptop. The last update on 22 Dec 2018 says "Windows 10, version 1803." All of my documents and pictures have disappeared! What has happened and where do I find them?? Luckily I backed up to an external drive in November so most of my stuff should be there. BUT this happening really is a BIG worry. How will MS fix this for me and how will they ensure that it doesn't happen again? Thanks, Greg

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder


Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

documents/pictures problem

Since downloading Windows 10 I have the following problem. On moving to the bottom of a list of documents or row pictures, before I can open the document, rename the picture, etc. the screen jumps back to the top of the list of documents or first row of
pictures. I thought it might caused by a mouse problem but I have used the touch pad mouse and external mouse to select the document or picture with the same result. Any ideas?
