    Windows 10 partially deleted a user folder which I tried to recover from Windows.old


    Initially I deleted a Service which came up flagged as malicous, an unsigned file system driver see picture for example. Turned out it was legit, Windows was not able to boot, throwing BSOD 0xc0000024, with no availavle tool I was able to recover, a backup image did not exist. I tried a recovery stick, repairing with an USB W10 installer, and with an other PCs W10 installation. Nothing helped to undelete the Service. How can such state be fixed?So, I reinstalled Windows fresh from USB. Everything went well, the old user folder was in Windows10.oldI did cut&paste the contents to the same

    I deleted $Windows~.BT folder that was propably Windows 10 files. How to recover?

    The Windows $BT folder is there in case you want to recover the old OS. It's not needed for an upgrade.

    But here's a link anyway....*Smile Windows 10 partially deleted a user folder which I tried to recover from Windows.old :) Windows 10 Build 10240



    I think BT is an abbreviation for "Bloat". lol

    I deleted $Windows~.BT folder that was propably Windows 10 files. How to recover?

    Hello,

    So about two weeks ago I deleted a $Windows~.BT folder (through the cmd). Now I know that was Windows 10 files ready for install.

    How can I download it again? I'm sure I need to reinstall some update. But which?

    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
