Windows 10: Why on earth does everything delete?

I spent about half the week working on downloading several apps on my computer, only for all of them to get randomly deleted by an update I wasn't aware of last night. None of the apps are in my downloads folder, the setting that auto-deletes for storage was turned off automatically. All the apps took ages to download because the download speed was so ungodly slow after my computer downloaded Windows 11 without my consent at some point.

Hi Cassandra,

Google Earth Pro... for who?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:

• When you say, “I found the Chrome version too limiting, so I downloaded a copy” Did you download a copy of Google Chrome or download Google Earth?
  
• What happens when you try to move the Earth?
  
• Do you get any error message/code?
  

However, I suggest you to refer the section Stop Earth from spinning
from the article
Fix Google Earth errors provided by Google and instead of unchecking put a check mark for the option Enable Controller.



For any installation related issues with Google Earth, please refer the article

Install & uninstall Google Earth Pro.



For versions of Google Earth, you can refer the link

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Cannot Install Google Earth

It is a known problem for a long time with the Google cache installer. Look for this key

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Update\Clients in the registry and delete the associated key for GE.

Update Google Earth Pro - Google Earth Help Try the 32bit vs 64bit installer.
