    Windows keeps deleting files when it restarts


    When my laptop restarts, all files in my computer are deleted and the browser history on both edge and chrome are also gone. I initially noticed this, when I logged on and the background was the default blue windows logo, not my custom background.

    :)

    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
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Does Windows keep a list of Deleted Files?


    I would like to know if Windows keeps a list of recently deleted files. Idon't mean files that "are" still in the recycle bin but have already been permanently deleted.

    Is there a list somewhere of these files? The objective would be to re-download but I need the file names.
