    lost files after the upgrade to Windows 10 19.03


    hi,


    A user has applied the update to 19.03 of her Windows 10 Pro. She passed after several bugs. In the end, most of his data contained in Documents and Desktop disappeared.
    I followed the procedures described here, but could not find them.
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12386/windows-10-find-lost-files-after-upgrade

    Of course, she did not save before ...


    Have you progress on this problem? Do you have a solution to offer me?


    Thank

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    windows 10 force upgrade! stuck at welcome screen and lost all files after upgrade.

    Hi,

    Are you able to log into computer?

    This issue might have occurred because of upgrade file corruption. Follow the steps below and check.

    I suggest you to create a Windows 10 installation media and perform a Startup Repair on the device and check if it helps to resolve the issue.
    This is an alternate way to boot the device and run recovery tools when something goes wrong with the Operating system.

    Please follow the steps below to do Startup repair:

    Steps:-


            • Insert the installation USB drive
              and boot Windows 10 from it.

              If you don't have one, you can Create an installation Media.

            • In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the ‘language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’
              and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.

            • Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’.

            • Click on ‘Advanced options’ and select ‘Startup Repair’
              and select the operating system.

    You may also refer the link below to find the lost files.

    Lost files after upgrading to Windows 10.

    Hello Paul,



    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.



    From the above description, I understand you have lost the files after upgrading to Windows 10 on your computer.



    Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:


    • How did you upgrade to Windows 10 (Using Media Creation Tool or Windows Updates)?

    • How many days has it been since upgrading to Windows 10?

    • Did you check if the lost files are found in
      windows.old
      folder?


    When you upgrade to Windows 10, the previous Windows files and folders are automatically stored in
    C:\Windows.old folder. This folder is kept by Windows only for one month (30 days). After one month Windows 10 will automatically delete the folder.



    The files & folders from the previous operating system after the upgrade to Windows 10 might have been saved in the
    windows.old folder. Check if the lost files and folders are present in
    windows.old folder by following the steps below:



    Step 1: Using Cortana




    • Press Windows icon key on the keyboard and type
      windows.old in the search box.

    • Select the search result which shows folder and drive location of the program.

    • Follow the file/folder path to check the contents of the same.


    Step 2: Using Windows explorer




    • Press Windows logo + E keys on the keyboard to open Windows Explorer.

    • Click on This PC option from the left side panel of the window.

    • Type windows.old in the Search This PC
      box located at the top right corner of the window.

    • Follow the file/folder path to check the contents of the same.


    Refer to the link below on Find lost files after the update to Windows 10 and check if it helps.

    Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
