    PANIC, ALL MY FILES ARE GONE AFTER UPDATE/REINSTALL WINDOWS 10


    In past years, the Windows keeps asking update, I might select update at night whenever. One morning this August 2022 my computer was updating and it took forever to completing update. I could not use this computer and tried two days to update again and again but did not pass, I had to decide to reinstall Windows 10 update history show it was updated April & August 2022 . After reinstall the Windows 10, my computer is so clean, all my 5 years files on C:drive I only have C: drive was gone. The computer free space is large as new; my 50G files hides nowhere. During reinstallation,

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    [Solved] Windows 10 keeps reinstalling KB3119142

    I noticed quite some time ago that KB3119142 (Update for Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Update 4 Redistributable Package) kept reinstalling itself for some reason. At least once daily. Sometimes up to several times a day. I just ignored it. It didn't seem to be doing any harm. And I figured they'd eventually fix it. Well...days turned into weeks, weeks into months, with no end to the problem in sight. It dragged on unsolved for at least the last few months. Literally reinstalling itself hundreds of(at least a hundred, felt like more) times in that period of time.

    So I finally googled it a couple days ago. And just got around to fixing it today. Which appears to have worked. And it couldn't have been easier to do. I feel so stupid to have let it intimidate me for so long.*Oops! PANIC, ALL MY FILES ARE GONE AFTER UPDATE/REINSTALL WINDOWS 10 :oops:
    Below are links to the thread that I got the fix idea from, and the official MS support info page for KB3119142(from which I quoted the above).

    PANIC, ALL MY FILES ARE GONE AFTER UPDATE/REINSTALL WINDOWS 10

    Reinstalling Windows 10 to sell a PC - is the 'Remove everything' option enough?

    Restore factory settings do list Removes your personal files, apps and settings, and reinstalls the version of Windows that came on this PC.

    So if this isn't true well than just erase the drive and install a clean Windows 10 with all the drivers u need but why should it be true
    @FordGT90Concept ? *Laugh :laugh:
