  1. several desktops


    First, let me say the problem I am having is not the second drive.. I have a C drive a D drive (recovery drive. I have a problem with my computer showing more than one user. I will save a document or a photo, etc. What will happen is that it will go into my pc or the name of my computer. When I go to my name of computer listed under my pc, I receive another name. I click on that name and I get the same name. I then click on that name and I get a desktop. Not all items are the same and I am afraid to delete the extra names but I am concerned that I will lose a file or a program. When I would open my computer it gave me two Microsoft office login names., I contacted Microsoft and they deleted the second login. I believe what they did was delete the second login and kept the second account on my drive. The problem is getting worse. I will tell my computer to save an item to my pc and then I cannot find the file. I have found some in the other accounts, but this takes time and is frustrating.

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
