Windows 10: Windows 10 deleted my files and now my desktop won’t load

Hello and thank you in advance.

So back in February I think windows did an update and since I haven’t used my laptop. Yesterday I turned it and i found out that my desktop has all the programs that I installed all this time but all my files are gone and the taskbar is back to like a brand new laptop and it also signed me out of Chrome, all the Adobe programs, etc. So I run the antivirus and it showed me some of the files that I thought I lost, so I’m guessing they’re hidden now?


Also after I tried to look for them and making sure i didn’t move/change anything, I restarted my laptop and when I login my desktop wont show and the screen is black with the taskbar flashing and a message saying :


"C:\Windows\System32\Config\SystemProfile\Desktop is unavailable"

Please I need some help, I really don’t want to lose all my files.

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
