    Win10 reset HDD and is deleting stuff in every restart


    Hey guys. I have a pc with Win10 Home version and two hard drives SSD and HDD. Yesterday I tried opening a program, it appear on start but the icon was blank and nothing happened when I clicked.

    Came to realize that basically the HDD was reset ?, there were some folders there like default folders then Win installs, Music, Documents etc but they were empty, so I lost all data there. Some programs are also missing from the SSD. Tried recovering it with Recuva but most files had weird extensions/names and when I try opening them it says that the file is unknown/corrupt.

    The only update Win made recently was because of Edge. Tried running SFC, it said that some corrupt files were found and repaired,but everytime I restart the PC, something else is missing.

    Has this thing happen to anyone else? Do you know how to prevent it? I have a desktop with Win10 as well and am panicking thinking I may lose data in there too

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
