  1. How do I recover files from a windows 10 temporary account?


    I logged into Windows 10, and it created a temporary account for me. I managed to find all of my desktop files in my original profile and then cut them, and pasted them onto the temporary profile. I logged back in today and whatever issue there had been resolved itself and windows 10 logged me into my proper account. Now my desktop has no files whatsoever. I have tried to find them in the temporary account, but there is no desktop folder and I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know where the files are, or how to recover them?

    :)

    How do I recover files from a windows 10 temporary account?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
