Windows 10: Lost all files after latest Windows 10 Update Last August 2019 !

Hello there !

I'm hoping someone can help me with this very particular problem.

So last August 2019, I updated my PC to the latest version of Windows 10, but then was met with a strange occurance.

I loaded up my desktop and it was empty, yet my background was still there. I realized shortly after that my files were kept under User>"MyName". So logically I just moved everything back into a NEW order. I then left my computer for a few days, and then I was shocked to find this when I returned:

-My OLD desktop order of files was back !

-My background was just black ?!

-And every single file decades of photos, important files, game saves, etc. that I had moved previously back into their respective places after I thought the update actually happened were GONE !!!


I have tried contacting Support but they were of no help. Either they didn't understand my problem, or they told me nothing could be done..


I have since tried countless methods checking bin, etc.. Most notably going into my "Local Disk C:" to try and find the old files, but I was met with 4 TEMP files labeled: TEMP MyPC 000.000.001, and so on that contained a bunch of stuff which I have no idea what they are or what they are for but not my files. Also tried restoring older versions of my current files,but no older file versions are possible.And even PC altogether but the system doesn't seem to think that I owned a previous version of Windows on this PC aside from 7 not even 8 ?. Only the version since after this incident seems to be available. I also found a "Window.old1" file but it dated of 2017...so of no help.


So I have attempted numerous times to restore/recover my old files to no avail. And now I find myself in a dire situation where I am in need of an old important file for something that was relevant to my work earlier this year that now has come back into actuality family member medical report.


If somebody, anybody, has an idea, suggestion or advise as to what I can do please reply to this message as soon as possible ! Thank you ahead of time for your response and have a nice day !!

:)

windows updates not installed since august 2019

Hi

Not one update for Windows 10 has now installed since August 2019 other than
August 30, 2019 — KB4511555 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.8 for Windows 10, version 1903

I initially presumed this would be a known error and would eventually be resolved by a future update, but this clearly is not the case.

All updates are downloading without problem, but installation reached 98% and then starts to uninstall.

I've tried turning off my antivirus and firewall but that doesn't do anything either.

Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

Many thanks
