    MS Word files disappeared from PC


    All Word files disappeared from my Documents folder after my PC automatically started saving new files to OneDrive. I can't find them anywhere and they weren't backed up! Someone tried to set a Restore Point for me, but my User Documents folder is still empty and File Explorer shows nothing. I have limited tech knowledge...any suggestions on what to do? I am using Word 2013. Thanks for any help.

    :)

  3. MS WORD

    I have proceeded with your suggestion of selecting the word document saved in a path and tried to select it for right clicking but miserably failed. It has not allowed me to select the word document first and windows explorer hanged circling for sometime
    and came out of explorer itself. This issue may be something different I feel. Other MS docs like excel, notepad etc are opening correctly when I double click as usual and this word document only giving problem.

    Please suggest some other workable solution.

    Thanks,

    Balakrishnan.

    MS Word files disappeared from PC

    Is MS reconciling with the PC Gaming Community?

    What !?? Games For Windows didn't prove to you that MS was serious about PC gaming? /sarc

    Actions speak louder than words. So step up to the plate, Microsoft, or STFU.
