Windows 10: We also lost all pics and documentsupdate. of people.

We also lost all pics and documents. Took it to a local computer shop and he got us fixed up. Now Windows is trying to make another update. No way we will let it unless we know the issue has been fixed. It is happening to thousands of people. Wake up Microsoft and get the thing fixed.

I lost my contacts

Hi John,

Regarding your issue with contact list that is lost in Windows live mail, we suggest to check this thread:

Contacts list disappeared from Windows Live Mail. Look for MikeSTL and ¡Firedog answers. It contains troubleshooting steps pertaining to the issue.

We look forward to your response.

 

Data lost on Win 10 people app


I doubt if those are really lost.
Look at your People App settings in the first instance to see what Account(s) it is syncing with.

Then to Filter Contact list and make sure the 'Show Contacts from' list is what you want > Done.

Then in general Windows settings > Privacy > Background Apps have the Mail and People App running. Those are virtually the only ones I allow to run in the background out of a very long list.

For example, in mine it syncs with 2 Outlook Mail Accounts and a Gmail Account.
You can obviously go to those accounts using the Webmail interface to see the contacts in those.

 

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar


Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
