Windows 10: Please help me maybe I have lost all my data?

Hello, so I asked a question yesterday if you can lose data after an update. Because my PC had a problem with the start menu. I was assured that I can do this without any worries. I was naive and downloaded it now I wanted to log in but he said something about "Error loading user profile not possible" or something like that. I did the update last night and only tried it 2 times. Of course I knew immediately that it was no good and I shut it down, now I am afraid to start it. Did not make a backup because I don't have an external hard drive. Am I now really fucked or can I fix/recover this?

If you can help me in any way please answer

:)

 

Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown
I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

HELP! Unwanted Revert To Backup! LOST DATA!

Sorry, no good news. You do not have a multi-booting system. This eliminates one of the options I mentioned previously:

• This is not the same PC as the one you used a week ago.
• You do not use the same disk as the one you had in the machine one week ago.
• Someone launched the System Image Recover process on your machine. This is a process that requires several highly specific steps to be invoked - see here.
  It takes at least half an hour to complete and is highly visible.
  

Other than the above I have no further explanation. You might want to have the machine examined by an expert. If you wish then I'm prepared to have a look at it myself. Maybe the best alternative is to save your remaining data to an external disk then perform
a destructive Factory Restore.

There is one curious thing I note. You claim that you have lost most of your data. Yet the partition where you store your data is 97% full. Maybe your data is not lost but is in an place that you ignored so far. Again an expert could help you there.
