    Hi, I opened my computer to find a whole folder missing from my desktop. I saved files to it recently and I have not deleted it. It is not on the recycle bin and it is not on my cloud storage. I tried to restore a previous version from quick access it tells me it is not available. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks.

    :)

    Hi,

    There are different ways for you to recover the previous folder settings on your computer. One of these is by following the steps below to organize and relocate your desktop or user folder.

    • Press Windows key + E to launch File Explorer.
    • Right-click on the special folder that you want to restore (Desktop).
    • Then select Properties.
    • Navigate to the Location tab.
    • Click Restore Default.
    • Then click Apply to save the changes.

    Let us know if you have any further questions.

  3. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Several issues; icons gone, settings defaulted, quick access unavailable

    Hi,

    To help with you resolve the error upon starting up, we suggest that you perform the following steps:

    • Open This PC, then go to C:\Users\[your user account] folder.
    • Check if there are two Desktop folders. If so, delete the Desktop folder that contains no files.
    • Copy the Desktop folder that has files and paste it to
      C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\ folder.

    Update us on the result.

    Regards.
