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.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

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.
