Windows 10: I’m desperate, I need help restoring a folder

I’m sorry, I’m really desperate, I need help restoring a folder...

Hi... Windows updated last night and when I start my PC this morning, my desktop was all messed up, so I decided to look for the folders and shortcuts missing and put them back. Turns out it was a temporary desktop, and when I restart my PC, all the things I dragged from my user folder to the temporary desktop (I just didn’t know about this) are completely lost, including one important folder containing all my life photos, including wedding, my work files I was keeping from years, my roms collection and more...

By the way, I have apparently no restore points, because had system protection turned off. I also have no file history.

Please, I will owe you a lot if you help me out.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
