Windows 10: Windows update deleted all files from my desktop.

2 days ago I decided to update windows.after doing the update I noticed that the files on my desktop were missing, so I decided to search for them in windows search. I found them and placed them on the desktop as they were before the update.Also, my wallpaper and several settings were changed.The next day after logging in, my wallpaper and settings went back to the state they were in before the update, but I noticed that my files are not on the desktop again, so I decided to look for them like i did yesterday. But this time, I couldn't find them anywhere. I started looking for help on the internet. I checked windows.old and users folder but ifound nothing.I decided to use disk drill to recover these files. I scanned the entire disk and found some of the deleted files, but after recovering, 95% of them were corupted and cannot even be opened.These files were really important to me.Please help.​

Cant Delete Files From Desktop

Well, ran into a weird bug with vista, for some reason i cant delete files from desktop, this normaly happens to .exe files, the ONLY fix seems to be to KILL explorer.exe, and delete the file, then restat explorer, anybody got any idea why this happens?

 

Deleted icons stay on desktop (not in desktop folder)

I can only suggest that you
1 Add a list of steps you have already taken.
2 Add a comment about restarting the computer. Do the deleted icons disappear then?
2 Add a comment explaining if any Desktop items do delete correctly and whether or not there are any significant differences between those that do delete correctly and those that don't.
3 Add a list of any OS tweaks you have done & any third-party OS-related utilities you have run.

I assume you have already reinstalled your display driver.
I don't see a Repair install as being relevant. Repair Install - TenForumsTutorials
