    My desktop files disappeared after windows10 update


    Hello

    My desktop files disappeared after windows 10 update. I also, lost my thunderbirds email account setting, as well as most of the shortcuts on the desktop. Fortunately I found my desktop files at the user count folder in drive C. I started over and setup my email on the thunderbired again and had some folders on the desktop. After having windows10 updated, something happened again, but this time i lost my desktop folders got deleted this time and thunderbird setting. I dont know whats wrong with windows10 update. Please help!!

    Note: I have kaspersky total security antivirus, I dont know if this causing any conflict with windows10. I used to have kaspersky for years and never had these problems.


    Please answers

    :)

    Files disappearing from desktop

    Saving files to my desktop causes them to disappear.

    My desktop is clear save for the Recycle Bin - and NO the file is not hiding behind it.

    File Viewer shows a file ON the desktop but it's nowhere to be found - viewport is completely blank.

    Any suggestions?

  3. Desktop Disappeared After Windows 10 Update

    After upgrading to windows 10, my desktop completely disappeared, sometimes it will flash for a micro second. The Desktop folder is still in my folder list and I can access it that way but prefer to have access to my desktop. I saw the other thread where
    it suggested a clean boot, but this did not work. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks!

    I am not able to do this because the folder disappeared with the files. The folder was on the desktop and those steps cannot be done on the desktop folder
