    Lost Folder


    Back in April computer did an update. It kept the same User LogIn but the start up screen was not the same . There was few less icons on this start up desktop not the same background, could find all files and folders. Late last week noticed the search feature not working could not type in the box & start menu was not working at all. Did not use the computer over the weekend. It had update and reset to few less icons. Search & Start still not working. Tried the Task Manage , restart of Windows Search & Windows Explorer.

    :)

    Folder in Favorites lost

    Had a folder in IE favorites named xxxxx favorites with many items in it. Don't know what I may have done but it is gone from the list. When I try to create a new folder it tells me that there is one already there, but it is not. Any suggestion where I might find the lost folder or how to restore it.

    Lost Folder

    Lost a REALLY IMPORTANT folder

    Hi Tanya,

    We'd like to know a few things to understand this better and help you recover the missing folder. Please answer these questions:

    • Did you lose it after upgrading to Windows 10?
    • How long has it been since you installed Windows 10 on the computer?
    Windows 10 does not apply changes or remove personal files without your permission. We suggest you restore the previous version of the folder or drive that used to contain the files you are looking for. Refer to this

    page
    for the steps.

    Let us know if you need more help.

    Regards.
