  2. windows 10 unable to sign in


    Today i was just adding a folder to my shared vpn and removed the wrong account from the list (being mine) the admin account. It wouldn't let me do anything really so i went to restart my pc and it keeps saying wrong password and won't let me sign in. Sorry i know this is a reallllly silly thing to do but can anyone suggest anything that might work? Thankyou

  3. Random Files & Folders Disappeared From Desktop

    Hi Sean,

    There are several causes of loss files or folders from the desktop. Most of the time, this issue might occur due to malwares or viruses. Here are some methods that you can try to find missing or lost files on your Windows 10 computer:

    Method 1: Check the Recycle Bin on your desktop.

    Method 2: Check if you're signed in with a temporary profile.

    • On Cortana search, type settings.
    • Choose Settings from the list.
    • Select on Accounts and then click on Sync your settings on the left pane.
    • If there is a message at the top of the window that states "You are logged on with a temporary profile. Roaming options are currently unavailable", it means that you are signed in with a temporary profile. We recommend restarting your computer
      and sign in again.
    • Check if it removed the temporary account, if yes, your files should be available.

    Method 3: Use the Cortana search to look for your files. If there are no search results and you're not signed in with a temporary profile, we suggest that you run the troubleshooter to fix search problems. Follow these steps
    on how to run the troubleshooter:

    • On Cortana search, type indexing.
    • Choose Indexing Options from the list.
    • Click on the Advanced button and then select the Troubleshoot search and indexing link.
    • Follow the steps to run the troubleshooter.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
