Windows 10: Lost document after Windows 10 update

Hi, guys I really need some help. I was writing a document on Mord (Windows 10) and I left to go somewhere for a while. I noticed before I left that I had a Windows update pending (2004) but decided that I would come back and take care of it. I came back and my laptop was updated and now my document has vanished. I have looked everywhere: on my desktop, recent on word, one drive, and recycling bin but I can find it anywhere. PLEASE I NEED HELP! I NEED TO GET THE DOCUMENT BACK

Lost documents after Windows update.

Here are two suggestions:

• Have a look in the folder C:\Windows.old\Users\MjKoval\Documents.

Implement a robust backup scheme. If you have very important documents then they must be stored on two independent media.
Do not wait until they are lost.

 

Lost Word documents

Hi LornaRadke,

Firs check your recycle bin folder probably you can find your lost file there. If not found there then try another way of searching your lost documents file by their name in the search box.

Still not found, then apply these manual steps: Open MS Word > click the File Tab > Click Manage Document >select Recover Unsaved Documents from the drop-down
list > Check for your missing file in the dialog box >Open the recovered Word document > click the Save As button in the top banner.

Probably you will find your lost documents on this list.

Finally if not shows there then try the last alternative option i.e. third party free data recovery programs like Recuva, stellar data recovery free edition, recoverit, etc. These utility programs completely free and can help you to recover your lost
files. You can try your luck. Thanks

 

I lost my documents after the windows 10 upgraded, which seems that it roll back to the previous version months ago.

Hi,

It is possible that you're unable to find your documents because it was hidden or move where they are saved before after the update. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

• Are you able to backup your files before the update?
• Does your OneDrive files sync to your computer before update?

In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps in this article on how to find lost files after the
update to Windows 10. You can expand each section and perform the instructions.
