  1. updated Win 10 to (build 10586) and lost half of my favorites


    Hi,
    This morning prior to going to church I received a notification that a major Update for my Windows 10 Home (x64-bit)was ready to download and install so I went ahead and installed (Build 10586).

    Everything seemed to go smoothly. However, I just realized I lost half of my Favorites. I have all my original Favorites from 'A' to 'M' but all the ones from 'N' to 'Z' are gone. *Eek

    Any ideas?

    Thanks and regards,


    :)

    Thanks for your reply.

    activated. It was updated by win update and I lost activation after that.This recent build 10586

    is not activated but I receive all update and are installed.

    Win 10 Build 10586 Problems

    After updating to win 10 build 10586, all appeared to be fine. Then I noticed multiple application were not responding, Win 10 apps begin to load then drop out. Win 10 update and security locks up, if I try to recover it drops out. Some applications I have,
    their license numbers have been lost.

    I had previously upgraded to win 10 from win 8.1 and had no major issues.

    This has left me in a fine mess, my PC is now less than 75% functional,how can I restore to a previous build?

  5. Morning CountMike,

    I am using Edge.

    My favorites were at the Folder you gave in your response. However, several that I had saved in the last week or two were missing. *Shock It is not the end of the world but I was just curious if updating Windows 10 yesterday morning could have caused it? *Mad

    Thanks and regards,

    Did you try importing favorites again. ?

  7. CountMike,

    Yes ... but the only option it gave me was from Internet Explorer and the Favorites that I saved since installing Windows 10 weren't included.

    Thanks and regards,

  9. CountMike,

    Either could I but my Favorites are living proof it did ...lol *Wink However, it is not anything I am going to lose any sleep over. Since I first entered cyber space eons ago with Win95 I have come to accept that anything is possible when using computers.

    I do appreciate all your feedback. I hope you have a Happy New Year! *Smile

    Thanks and regards,

    I always keep backup of my favorites folder although I use Firefox 99% of the time. I have hundreds of bookmarks and would hate to loose them by accident.

  11. I also have backups on my external disks. Unfortunately I back up once a month and the last one was before originally installing Win 10 so my most recent Favorites aren't included ....lol

    Have a good day.

    Thanks and regards,
