Windows 10: Windows 10 Automatically Deleting My Stuff

Not so recently I discovered that my brand new pc with Windows 10 had deleted some videos I had saved. As I was looking through my videos I noticed that one particular video I was excited about watching was fucking gone, nowhere to be found. Why the hell does that happen? I figured maybe i deleted it by accident or something. Anyways, months pass, and videos keep getting deleted, although not that many. But now, windows file explorer is deleting MOST of my new videos and even old videos. I have plenty of space on both of my drives, i turned off that useless crApple like feature (storage sense) and I figured that might fix the issue since its related to my videos folder. NOPE. Why the fuck is this happening? I can't understand how this is a fucking issue, why would you think Id want to fucking delete brand new files without my damn consent? It drives me absolutely fucking insane when the shit I placed and organized carefully goes missing. If someone knows how to fix this crap, please send me your solutions. Unbelievable that I can't even trust the software my pc runs on to work properly after all the years since literally the beginning of software computers to perfect the goddamn operating system. I want to say so much more angry shit but this issue is simple, I WANT MY FILES TO STAY WHERE I PUT THEM, why the actual fuck I have to post about something so unbelievably frustrating is beyond me, this is not an acceptable bug, especially since they recognized it 2 years ago and still havent fixed it. PS: The files are gone, theres no backup, no restore file, the files arent in a different folder or a different user file, believe me, i have searched the internet for fixes to this problem but none of them seem to relate to the issue im having. I have searched my computer for these files and they are absolutely gone for good. PISSED. Btw this is more of a rant than a request for support but support is welcomed

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Microsoft to push automatic Windows 10 upgrades in 2016

"Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 will be automatically rolled out next year to all users of its older operating systems who have selected to receive updates.

Until now, users of Windows 7 and 8 have needed to register to upgrade to Windows 10. But that's about to change: soon the OS will be listed as an 'Optional Update' and -- from 2016 -- a 'recommended' update that will automatically install itself, if users have opted to receive updates in that way.*Shadedshun :shadedshu:

You can opt out of automatic updates to avoid this, but Microsoftsays that "we strongly discourage this in today’s connected world because of the constant risk of internet threats". You can also change your Windows Update settings to install critical updates but not recommended ones. Although it's still going to be possible to avoid installation, Microsoft seems quite determined for everyone to be using Windows 10 in near future.


The roll-out of reserved updates was initially staggered but, according to Microsoft, now Windows "will automatically kick off the upgrade process once you have made a reservation".

As an intermediate stage, Microsoft says that it will "soon" publish Windows 10 as an optional update, not installed by default, but accessible to all users."

Windows.old automatically deleted the day after installing Windows 10

A simple websearch would have given you info quicker than complaining about someone suggesting to upgrade to Windows 10 and something causing the Windows.old to be deleted, which I doubt was caused by Microsoft.
Rebuild System Partition

The second way here we can put forward is to rebuild the system partition. If you don't want to pay a penny to do the lost partition recovery, try this method. Note that this requires you have the Windows installation disk. Now follow the instructions to begin.
Preparatory work:
Boot the computer using the Windows installation media for your running OS. Then on the first installation screen, press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
Now run the following commands at the command prompt.
Step 1:
bootrec /fixmbr
Step 2:
diskpart
select disk 0
list partition
select partition n (n is the Windows OS partition)
active
exit (exit diskpart)
Step 3:
bootrec /fixboot
Step 4:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
