Windows 10: Win 11 pro: after update: all files and links on the Desktop are deleted.

I'm disappointed. Never happened before in year I'm on WIndows.I'm under W11 Pro 21H2Today I got an update. As usual I apply for it.But after that: all links on the Desktop AND the files are disappeared, except the folders.There are NOT temporary profiles, anything like this. Just the desktop was emptied. No way to restore it.For the time being I recreated some link I needed but I want my system back as it was.

Cant Delete Files From Desktop

Well, ran into a weird bug with vista, for some reason i cant delete files from desktop, this normaly happens to .exe files, the ONLY fix seems to be to KILL explorer.exe, and delete the file, then restat explorer, anybody got any idea why this happens?

 

Updating Win 11 to pro from a disabled PC

It was bought separately as Win 7 and then updated to 10. If I go back to Win 10 OEM, could I update that to pro and then upgrade to Win 11? They are both listed in my Microsoft account.

Thanks for the help
