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 ?.

 

Windows10 update damaged something, attempting repair, some advise adv

They are Operating Systems that aren't based on MS/Windows code.
Ubuntu is a Linux Distro (there a lots of them).

You can run them from a CD/DVD/USB without installing them on your PC.
You can choose to install them if you want (for purposes of recovering your files you won't need to).

It will take a few minutes to boot a Linux Distro from an optical disc (installed versions are at least as fast as Windows though).
Note:
You may need to adjust the boot order in your BIOS/UEFI, if your PC won't boot from an optical disc (or USB) by default.

Once it has booted you should see a desktop similar to Windows (or Mac) depending on the Linux Distro you've used.

I have made some screenshots of my Linux Mint 18.3 (installed & customised) setup as a guide.
Running LM18.3 from a Live CD/DVD/USB will look different.

Step 1
Once the Desktop appears do one of these:

1. Double click on the Computer icon
2. Click the File Manager icon

Step 2
Browse to the folder that has your files
Even though it looks different to Windows it works basically the same
The left pane lists the drives/partitions on your machine
The right pane shows a directory/folder tree
You can double click on a folder to view its contents (the tree structure will start at the folder you clicked)


Step 3
Insert a USB HDD/Stick to save your files to.
The File Manager may open a new window showing the contents of your USB drive.
You may prefer to copy between windows in which case you can ignore Step 4 below.

Step 4
You can open a twin pane view to make transferring the files easier.

1. Go to the View menu and choose "Extra Pane"
2. Click in the new pane (right pane) and then click on your USB drive (in the left pane which is showing the drives/partitions on your machine)
3. Click in the pane (middle) that is showing the files/folders you want to save and select them

Step 5
The selection process is the same as Windows (i.e. you can use the Ctrl and Shift buttons to select multiple files).
Once you have selected the files/folders you want to save, simply drag them, or "Copy& Paste" them, into the USB drive pane/window.

 

Insurgency wont install and run for me....

I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

Any ideas?
