    Hi everyone.

    Please help- I updated my Windows 10 and after multiple restarts the files that were on my desktop are gone.

    I’ve followed the normal: Look under users for the missing folders & System rollback but they are still gone. The frustrating part is if I go to file explorer, I can see some of them there but, when I click it says folder unavailable. It may have been moved or deleted.

    Anyone have this problem before?

    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 ?.

    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.
