  1. Update/Files Gone


    When I powered my computer on this morning, it informed me it did an update. Now everything is gone!! Even in my QuickBooks companies!! This problem needs to be fixed Microsoft! I do not have time to sit here for hours trying to recover files. I use this computer for my business. I have a lot of important information that I need on a daily basis. How do I fix this without having to pay an arm and a leg for someone to come recover my files, if they are even available to recover??????

    :)

  2. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

    files have gone

    I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

    However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

    As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? Friend suggest Data Recovery Wizard, can I try that?

    Update/Files Gone

    ALL MY FILES ARE GONE AFTER UPDATE

    Hi,

    The issue that you are experiencing can be due to data/file corruption. For us to isolate why the issue is happening, we would like to ask for additional information:

    • How did you update the computer automatically through Windows update or via Media Creation Tool?
    • Is the issue happening only on a specific folder (with sub-folder) on your Desktop?

    Furthermore, as an initial troubleshooting we suggest following the steps on this article:
    Find lost files after the update to Windows 10. It consists of information on how we can locate your files.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
