Windows 10: Help! All my pictures disappeared in Win 11

Hello!A couple of days ago I noticed my slideshow for bacground pictures stopped working. I figured I probably need to link the folder again and didn't react until today - only to find all my pictures gone.Not hidden, not deleted and in trash, just gone. Nothing in Onedrive either. At least some of them are in the Gallery app still which I never use, so I have no idea if it has any recent photos, which luckily was not signed in to OneDrive, so I'm able to restore some of them. But not probably all and my organisement to folders is gone as well. This is years of photos, so I'm not very happy.

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That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.
