  1. Word files disappearing randomly


    Windows updated and all the files seemed to have disappeared. I signed back in and restarted and they came back. That was a few days ago. This morning, it took an extended period of time to start up saying "Preparing Windows..." and when it did I logged back out of my Microsoft account. I logged back in and all the work I did in the last few days is gone and I can't seem to find it. All that's there are files from a week ago. This is ridiculous and it's absurd that a product as core and simple as Microsoft Word is causing such problems. How do I get this resolved, and quickly?

    :)

    • Yes
    • Yes
    • Good

    That should not be happening but it's a different issue...that may be fixed running sfc /scannow. I suspect corrupted files there.

    Hi.
    I think you need to use an admin command prompt or admin powershell:

    Code:
    Code:
    Get-BitsTransfer -AllUsers | select -ExpandProperty FileList | Select -ExpandProperty RemoteName
