  1. Windows 10 Update deleted all folder in desktop


    So today 30/11/2020 to 01/12/2020 after I updated my Windows I checked that all my Desktop folders and shortcuts (except some) were completly gone and wiped of my computer. All the apps are still there. Tried to reverse the update didn't help. Anything more I can do, or all my files are just gone and I have to deal with it? No, I didn't have any back-up

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Windows 10 Update deleted all folder in desktop ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

    Windows 10 Update deleted all folder in desktop

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
