  2. Lost documents after Windows update.

    Here are two suggestions:

    • Have a look in the folder C:\Windows.old\Users\MjKoval\Documents.
    Implement a robust backup scheme. If you have very important documents then they must be stored on two independent media.
    Do not wait until they are lost.

    Lost text

    Hi Martha,





    There are a lot of possible factor for a text or a
    word document to be lost. To isolate the issue, I have some questions for you:




    • What application did you use to create the text document?

    • Were there any changes made before the text was lost?

    • Were there any recent application installed?

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?



    We'll be waiting for your response.



    Regards.
