Windows 10: Missing Pictures in Windows 10

I rarely use my Surface Book 2 but keeps the OS updated every time I turn it on.While searching for old pictures, it came to my attention that all my pictures are missing. The My Pictures folder itself is empty when I checked its properties. I also did the a file search and made sure my folder shows hidden files, unfortunately, to no avail.File backup, isn't turned on either.Is there any means to recover my pictures?Any assistance would be much appreciated.

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That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date.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.
