    Documents get lost on my computer


    Hello everyone.

    I have a desktop Acer and windows 10

    2 things are bothering me on this computer:

    1; My documents get lost and I cannot find them no matter where I save them in the document section , in the scan section, PC, quick access, etc... when I need them, they are not there.

    But after a while Few days later, All of a sudden when I am searching for something else, they show up that means they are not lost or deleted, they are somewhere in the memory but I cannot find them- Could somebody give me advise? Thank you.


    2: The notification keeps beeping every few minutes and is very annoying. I turn off all the apps and the main switch, but after few minutes it goes back on by itself it's very annoying how can I turn it off permanently?

    Thank you

    :)

  2. 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.

    Lost facility on Documents screen

    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"

    Documents get lost on my computer

    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.
