Windows 10: Recent upgrade in Windows lost all pictures, File Explorer Saved Excel , documents,...

Hi, I have Version 1909 {OS Build 18363.1082.


Windows 10 Home operating System.


This recent upgrade with Window 10 I lost all my Pictures, Saved documents and downloads in the File Explorer.


Information went back to 2010-2011 on this computer.


When will they be back in the Operating System.

Recently used Excel Files

My last used excel files quit showing up in the file explorer recent files list. They are showing up inside excel on the open menu but i usually open recent documents from file explorer so would be nice to get them back there. I opened several excel files
in the past few days but none of them show up on the list. See attached picture. Word documents, PDFs and others show up as always but not excel. i do not recall changing anything that might have affected this.



[Moved From: Office / Excel / Windows 10 / Office 365 Home ]

 

Lost folders, pictures ,Microsoft word/excel and documents after Windows 10 upgrade

I recently upgraded by Dell laptop to Windows 10 and cannot retrieve my folders, documents, pictures, and Microsoft word, excel etc...

I am not computer savvy , but have tried a few suggestions without resolve. ANY ideas?

 

Lost Folders - but files exist

Win10x64Home build 14393.447 - upgraded a year ago from Win7

Something yesterday transposed 'Downloads' into 'Documents' in the Quick Access list of File Explorer and in the Library list shows the downloaded files in the so-called 'Documents' folder.

I cannot find my trusty Documents folder at all, nor use any files.

But, Word, or Excel, or some other applications when doing a 'Save-As' go to the folder list which belongs in the old 'Documents' folder and proceeds to save properly (Word can also re-open the new file as a Recent file) but File Explorer cannot find 'Documents' at all.

Trying the Registry Key trick did nothing.

Any help appreciated.
