  1. I deleted all my .msi files from my windows 11.


    Hello, few months ago I deleted all .msi files from my laptop thinking that they might be only installation wizards. But now I found out that without them you cannot uninstall or even upgrade the exisiting package. I wanted to upgrade my vcredist but all of them throwed an error that previous version cannot be uninstalled and failed to locate the .msi. This issue happens with every single program that is installed on my laptop.I used several methods, like deleting registries manually or force uninstall using commands but all of them didn't do anything.

  2. Windows 11 start menu 'suggested list' does not show files.

    After deleting a file from the Windows 11 Start Menu "Suggested List", it does not appear in the "Suggested List" even if the file is used again.

    Is there any solution other than initialization? I want you to tell me.

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink I deleted all my .msi files from my windows 11. ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
