Windows 10: hacked and wonder what to do....

I did nothing with the computer other than leave it running whilst away on a break / no windows open/ and upon return all the internal hard drives were encrypted.

Is there anything I can do to reclaim the folders/files from this insult? Thanks!

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.

What happens to my phone contact list if hotmail gets hacked and contacts wiped out?

Just wondering about how syncing works? Which has priority? The contact list on phone or in hotmail. What happens if hotmail is hacked and my contact list is wiped out. Will my phone contact list get wiped out the next time it syncs?
