    One of the drives in my pc has gone missing after i ran an app downloaded from the internet...


    So I downloaded an app that was apparently safe to use, but after running it and then closing it one my drives with all my files on it disappeared.And when i try to access one of the folders from file explorer that was from that drive that for some reason disappeared it comes up with this message.I cant upload anything after this for some reason so I have to paste a link of an example of the image message sorryhttps://cdn.windowsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Untitled-design-2023-02-16T163737.751-886x590.jpgIs there any way to fix this as i had 2 years worth of files on that drive

    :)

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    Lost internet connection after upgrading to Windows 10.

    after downloading windows 10, i had no internet wifi connections. tried almost everything from community.

    I downloaded talent driver network software to an

    external drive using another computer and then ran the set up on non internet computer. Wifi networks reappeared and I was able to get on the internet and download some apps but connects lost by the next day when turned on computer, Again unable to get
    on internet and network adapters not listed. Talent driver software no longer effective.

    tried INFO GROUND(/) STEP 1. NO CHANGED...no connections listed.

    thanks fo trying to help. Any other suggestions

    DVD drive missing


    So when you open your file explorer just where are you looking for your DVD drive ?? It only shows in one place....unless its in use.... I would love for you to post a screen shot of where you are looking.
    When I 1st open up my file explorer it only lists my hard drives ....no dvd drive shows, this is normal. (unless its IN USE) But if you move up to THIS PC at the very top your DVD drive should be listed.

    2nd way to check is to download the free program Speccy and install it, then look under the optical drives option, it should show your DVD drive listed. If it does ....your dvd drive is working as it should. Here is a link for Speccy to download.
