Windows 10: Windows 10 Update keeps Deleting my Files

A few days ago, my computer told me that it needed an update, so I accepted the update without any question. But when the computer restarted, all of my files and previous documents were deleted. I tried using EaseUS Data Recovery to recover my files, which worked. But the following day, the files got deleted again and I was back to square one.

First, is it normal for Windows 10 updates to get rid of files on your computer, and if so, is there a way to stop it from happening over and over; reverse updating back to the previous version?

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

C windows installer folder - Delete?

He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink
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.
