Lost files after an update on Windows 11

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm an independent consultant and I'm here to help.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. There are a few things that could have caused your files to go missing after the Windows 11 update. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

Check the Recycle Bin: It's possible that the files were accidentally deleted or moved to the Recycle Bin. Check there to see if the files are still available.

Use File Recovery Software: If the files are not in the Recycle Bin, you can try using file recovery software to see if the files can be recovered. There are many free and paid options available online.

Check the Windows Update Log: It's possible that the update process interrupted the file saving process and caused the files to be lost. You can check the Windows Update log to see if there were any errors during the update process that could have caused this issue.

Contact Microsoft Support: If none of the above steps work, you can contact Microsoft support for assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or help you recover the lost files.

It's always a good idea to regularly back up important files to an external hard drive or cloud storage service to prevent data loss in case of unexpected issues.
