  1. Everything on my Desktop EXCEPT Folders are missing! All pics, files, etc are gone.


    I am running Windows 10. This is now the second time this has happened. I have tried every thing I can think of, as well as all solutions I have found online. I have made sure files and folders are not hidden, done auto-arrange, refreshed, restarted, as well as several options using the command prompt that I have found. I have done Disk Cleanup for thumbnails and let it try to re-create them... Nothing. If I search for specific filenames I KNOW were on my desktop, the computer does not find them.


    I am seeing others have this same issue, but no resolution has been found. This ONLY happens on my desktop.


    Why is this happening? Someone please help!

    :)

    Everything on my Desktop EXCEPT Folders are missing! All pics, files, etc are gone.

    Folders are empty files are missing. All my pics disappeared and other files. Upgraded to Window 10

    Hi good morning.

    I upgraded to Windows 10 and today wanted to change my user pic. My PC still have all the folders for my pics, but all the files inside have completely disappeared. Folder properties states 0 kbytes. I have tried everything that was suggested by other forums,
    un-hiding, malware checks, etc. Nothing worked. It is as if they just vanished. I then checked other folders and found that a lot of the files have gone as well. Can anyone please help. 15 years of memories just gone. I am so regretting upgrading to Win
    10 right now.

    thank you Microsoft
