Windows 10: New edge version 8/27/20 - C:Drive files now empty

Turned on my PC this AM and a new version of Edge appeared. Desktop totally changed no icons and task bar moved. Checked files on my C: drive found that they were now all empty. Is there a way to retrieve this missing file data.

:)

 

File named “F6F501913800” appears in C: drive?

It’s not in any folders on the C: drive, it’s where the folders (like users, windows, and program files) are listed. Scanning with MalwareBytes Antimalware shows no threats, right-clicking brings the drop-down menu for files with no extension, the way folders
and files are listed in C: gives a “date modified” and the date of ot last being modified as “8/27/2017 at 8:54 AM.” the size shows “1 kb.” and the tabs under properties are the usual “General, Security, Deatils, Previous Versions” tabs. I think it may be
something to do with the Windows 10 Upgrade folder (which is for Creators Update) because every time I uninstall the Upgrade Assistant, it always reappears within the C: drive. I would attach pictures but I’m typing from the Google Chrome app on an iPad.
