Windows 10: My files keep disappearing

Due to coronavirus, I've been doing my work on my laptop. However, files keep disappearing. It's happened once with a powerpoint that I saved and again with a word document. They were both saved into different subfolders of my work folder. What can I do to get them back and stop it happening?

Help! My Pointer Keeps Disappearing

This is so uncomfortable.

My pointer keeps on disappearing. This is the 3rd times.

The 1st time it happened, i googled many articles and tried many suggestion and i have no idea which one act works.

Files disappearing from my Documents folder

Yesterday I found that certain files had disappeared from my Documents folder. Some, but not all, of them had also disappeared from the back-up copies I keep in an external hard drive. I had made no changes to my computer and the files were there the day before.
I did a normal System Restore but it failed, so I did a System Restore in Safe Mode and this was successful and all the files reappeared.
Although I no longer have a problem, I am concerned that the same thing might happen again. Can anyone suggest what could have been the cause of the disappearance, please? Windows Defender has not shown up any viruses and I'm at a loss as to what could have happened. Grateful for any suggestions.

 

My Custom cursor keeps disappearing in Windows 10...

Hi,

There could be something in the computer's system that causes this issue to happen. May we ask when did this issue started to happen? For the meantime, we suggest that you do the following steps to perform System Scans:

SFC Scan and DISM Tool

Method 1:

System file checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Run system file checker (SFC) and see if it helps. Please follow these steps:

• Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin).
• Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.

sfc /scannow

If it does not help, use method 2.

Method 2:

Run DISM tool and check the issue. Please follow these steps:

• Press Windows + X keys and click command prompt (admin).
• Type the following command in command prompt and press Enter.

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
