Windows 10: Nothing is saved after reboot

Hello,


Since a few days ago I have been experiencing a few bizarre symptoms on my Windows 10 PC. It started with a BSOD with stop code MEMORY_MANAGEMENT when I play video games. The BSOD occurs typically within 10-30min of me starting the game, and varies each time. The BSOD only occurs when I play game, but not when I'm browsing the Internet, watching video, or doing anything else on the PC.


I then noticed that occasionally when I try to run something, say an application or a browser, it would look like it's loading briefly, then nothing would happen. This usually doesn't happen right after restart, but after I have done a few things first.


Then I realized I can no longer save or delete any data on my PC. Every time I restart my computer, all files I have saved disappear and all files I have deleted return. I also noticed that when I open my browser after a restart, regardless of what state it was before, it would always show a message that says it wasn't shut down properly, and when I recovered the tabs it's always the same ones from a few days ago.


I have tried various tips and suggestions on the web, but nothing has worked for me so far:

- tried the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, I would select restart and perform check, and the PC would restart normally without the diagnostic check

- tried the System File Check sfc /scannow, the scan would finish and say that a corrupted file has been repaired, but when I restart it would be as if I never ran it

- confirmed I'm not on a guest account, and there is no temporary file folder when I go to my /Users folder

- my graphics card and hard drives appear to all have the latest drivers

- I've gone as far as attempting to Reset the PC under Windows Recovery options. Before I proceeded with it it showed me the list of applications on the PC that will get uninstalled. I proceeded with it, it performed the "uninstalls" and restarted the PC, and everything is still there as if I never did the reset.


At the point I am out of ideas of what else I can attempt. If anybody has any suggestions on how else I may troubleshoot this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

:)

Recent (Save Files) - Change Default Settings to OneDrive

Hello -
Thanks for the return. Before I undertake changing the Registry, I have a question.
The steps in my Registry, for my version of Windows 10, were a bit different, but I think I eventually got to the right spot.
The last step is to change the number of places you want to list in Recent Places. In my case, the default Max Display listed 50 as the number. So, if I were to change that number, how do I know the Save As page will be one of those places? Or, a similar question, will this registry change delete the tab Recent from my Save As page? This is what I would like to happen.
When I received my computer in Nov. 2016, the Recent tab was not listed in the Save As page. Something caused it to be added over time. Which brings me to this second question. Would there be any benefit in deleting the changed registry listing and reverting back to the default listing? See attachment.
