    I restarted my PC this morning and it was like starting it 3 years ago, a bunch of apps and programs were missing/not installed, the background was old, the resolution was wrong. I cannot find most of these files anywhere on my pc. Am I experiencing metadata loss or something strange? This is extremely frustrating as I have no idea what could have caused this strange issue! Please help if you can!

    :)

  2. PC Randomly Can Not Be Started

    Hi Vijay

    I have tried every step as advised.

    But this morning I could not start on the PC, but at 10.00 (local time) I'm able to turn on.

    I notice my PC clock also change into 00.00.

    Let me know if you can suggest other steps to be tried.
