  1. Has this worked?


    My windows 10 started frequently removing files from the desktop and keeping then only in the user folder. It also reset the start menu and the desktop background picture, and disconnected any account connected to any application.

    I opened the terminal as an administrator and ran the following command:

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Then i closed that terminal, opened another and ran the command:

    sfc /scannow

    After the process was finished, it said something like:

    "Windows resource defender found corrupted files and corrected then succesfully" + a bunch of things about repairs and logs.

    Am i good? Can i restart/start/update windows without the risk of this happening again?

  2. Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
