Windows 10: My Chrome Bookmarks Disappeared after i ran a Re-Install from the ISO. I have windows.old...

Due to some crash in Windows Security Center and PowerShell, I Re-installed Windows 11 through an ISO file. I was prompted that the apps will be deleted. after the installation, my Chrome Bookmarks are no longer there.But I have windows.old Folder with 111GB inside it.Is there any way to recover my Chrome Bookmarks through that?

Deleting old bookmarks

I have bookmarks dating back to Windows 98. Is there a program, or command to find and delete dead individual bookmarks in Internet Explorer 11? I ran AM-DeadLink and it listed 400 dead links, but it no longer has a delete function. Thanks for any suggestions.

Where did my Chrome bookmarks go?

Hello KatrinaPappas, my name is Irisdiel and I am an independent advisor.

I suggest you follow the instructions down below.

-Search for "Bookmarks.bak" in Windows Explorer

-Right-click the file and choose "Open file location" to open the folder, which should be your Chrome user data folder (i.e., Users/[Username]/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default)

-Open the bookmarks backup file in Notepad. Your old bookmarks, hopefully, are listed there

-In Chrome, go to Settings > Advanced sync settings (under the Sign in section) and change the sync settings so that Bookmarks aren't synced, if they currently are set to sync

-Close Chrome

-Back in the Chrome user data folder, find another "Bookmarks" file without an extension. Rename it "Bookmarks2.bak"

-Then rename the "Bookmarks.bak" file to "Bookmarks"

Hope this helps!

Thank you and good luck,

Regards- .

 

Chrome Bookmark Folders are screwed up

I am experiencing the same thing. It only happens for bookmark folders that contain 1 or 2 bookmarks.

I started a thread in the Chrome support forum.

Windows 7 64-bit
Chrome Version 32.0.1700.102 m
