    Hey guyz please help because the files I have lost or corrupted are very important to me. I ran chkdsk coz two of my folders were not opening. There were notepad and word files. After running it, the folder opened but the files in it, when i opened them, some of them have completely different type of texts and symbols in them except for the things i have written and saved. They now have only some chinese chars and ome other symbols. And my data (original text what i wrote in it is gone). My pc ran into a BSoD and then when I opened it in safe mode and restarted it, after scanning from quick heal, this happened. There were no virus and none of my data was deleted by quick heal. I saved those files on my oc and now they are just gone. Also my search bar and notification bar is not working. What should I do? Please Help! Please!

    Windows 10 - Folder on SSD "The File Or Directory Is Corrupted and Unreadable"

    Hello,
    It says :"The File Or Directory Is Corrupted and Unreadable", when trying to open a recently created folder on the second SSD drive (D), after moving many files from SSD drive(C) to that newly folder, I was never able to access that
    folder, first time I tried it said that error message.
    On properties, general tab, it says Size: 0 bytes and Size on disk: 0 bytes
    What possible steps could one take to recover the files? (Already tried running chkdsk /f d: on CMD)
    What could have caused this? Thanks
