Windows 10: I recently encountered an issue with losing my files. I put it in Windows Easy Transfer....

Hello Microsoft, I recently faced a problem related to the loss of my files. I put them in the Windows Easy Transfer feature when I upgraded to Windows in order to recover them later, but when I downloaded them in the old file and after installing the new Windows, the now file asked me to recover the password, did not provide me before. I would like help from Please, because all my files are stuck in a file called windows easy tranfer

you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

 

Restoring a Windows Easy Transfer .mig file to Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I will certainly help you with this.

Restoring a .MIG file using Windows Easy Transfer won’t work from an x64 to an x86 Operating system.

Download USMT4 MigRecover Utility
here and follow the below steps:

• Download the MigRecover Utility for USMT4 from one of the links above
• Extract the downloaded archive to a desired location
• Start by renaming the .MIG file to SaveData.MIG
• Create a destination folder for the extracted “raw” files
• Open an elevated command prompt (right-click – Run as Administrator)
• Browse to the desired folder location containing “MigRecover.exe”
• Type the following command: MigRecover.exe [.MIG file location] [Destination folder].

As Easy Transfer is not available in Windows 10, I suggest you to try recovering your files from Windows.old folder. As upgrading from Windows create a Windows.old folder in the drive where operating system resides.

I suggest you to refer to the below given Windows article and check if it helps:

Windows Easy Transfer is not available in Windows 10 - Microsoft Support

Refer to the suggestions provided by Andre Da Costa June 19, 2015 in the following link:

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

Thank you.

 

Recent File List

that's all off already dude lol, I'm really surprised there is no fix for the recent files list/MRU in the file menu of programs haha

I appreciate the help, MS really needs to implement a Group Policy or a string that can do that for all programs installed
