Windows 10: Reinstalled windows

I recently reinstalled windows so I went to check the windows.old folder, went under user, and none of the files I had previously were there. Every folder says "This folder is empty". I was wondering what did I do wrong if I did anything wrong at all, is there a program I can use to recover the lost files or have my old files just gone forever? My internal hard drives show that they have files in them but when I check them there's nothing there past the folders.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

Reinstall Windows?

You don't need to reinstall windows. Go to the device manager and remove uninstall the processor and motherboard drivers listed. When you start the system back up you should be able to re-install the new ones. I just changed my mobo/processor Friday, everything is fine.

BTW I have seen some reviews that state practically no difference in using more than 2gb of ram.
