I updated to windows 10 and I couldn't find any of my files. Eventually found them moved in a folder. Once I restarted my computer, all of the files were gone and I had more storage on my computer. These are files as in music, movies, and pictures. They are NO WHERE to be found.
View 2 RepliesI have a huge issue with my desktop PC at the moment. Everything was fine when I was using my PC yesterday but upon startup today a system message appeared saying that the desktop file in the system32 folder couldn't be found and my desktop was a black screen with nothing but recycle bin(I did have lots of shortcuts and folders). Shorty after other applications such as Skype prompted me to locate the files or reinstall the software.
Using the recycle bin on the desktop i accessed the files(or lack thereof) to find all of the document, video, picture, ect. drives empty with strange string of random numbers and letters(looks like hexadecimal?) at the top where it would normally say "documents" or whatever. Whilst the documents are gone the C drive is perfectly intact with program files and other stuff. The start menu does not work either so I cannot access control panel or command prompt but "windows key + x" shortcuts still work.
To my knowledge I haven't installed any suspicious software as I am well versed enough in computers to not click any old pop up, in fact I do not remember installing anything. I can't access my PC specs as control panel cant be accessed but it is a vibox gaming pc and is on windows 10. I cannot access chrome or any internet browser on my PC.
I have run SFC /SCANNOW and a large number of files have been found to be corrupted in Windows 10, and cannot be repaired by SFC. The CBS log is too large to attach, but I have extracted a list of all corrupt files attached.
After looking at similar posts, I downloaded SFCFIX.exe by Sysnative and ran that in an elevated command prompt, but the message I got was that source file could not be found. I have also run SFC in safe mode and also run DISM, but neither solves my problem, and the corrupt files persist.

I went into the CBS log as stated by the cmd, and these were the only things I could find that were not fixed.
View 3 RepliesWe have written several programs in VB.2010. They all have a setup and deploy project to create the MSI file. There is a launch condition for a specific file.
This same technique is used in many other programs we have. All work in Windows 7, 8, etc. but not in Windows 10.
The file is there where it supposed to be.
Some programs work using the same exact file in Windows 10 and some do not. All work on Windows 7, 8.
The file is QBFC13.dll and is in C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesIntuitQuickBooks Search Target is [CommonFilesFolder]IntuitQuickBooks
Program files (.exe) which are not installed (and so don't have a shortcut) are not being found by Windows search. Shortcuts, folders etc with the same name all show up.
Indexing is complete and .exe is defined (as default) in indexing options to Index Properties Only using the File Properties Filter. If I open up the old Windows 8 fly-out style search then .exe are found so they must be in the index.
I found this thread which is the same [URL] .... but the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerFolderTypes registry key doesn't exist in 10.
How to make this work in the normal Windows search? (I'm not interested in any third party search tool).
Installed the windows 10 preview on my IMac a while back and was upgrading fine and then it stopped updating as the updates would fail constantly, and now my IMac is still on build 10162. It was running fine but the time has come and my computer will be rendered useless in a matter of days(your pc will restart every few hours and will eventually fail to start if you don't upgrade to the latest version)... Windows update doesn't detect any updates, the preview builds option in settings is completely GONE and there is no way at all to update (at least not without losing everything i guess ) How can I upgrade my computer to the final version of windows 10 and keep all my data?

just wanted to know what should one do if one gets the error and how does one troubleshoot it properly?
I looked up the log on my system but it's just a really big lump of text.
I just updated my media center to version 1511 of windows 10. Via wifi, downloaded and installed ok i thought. But have found i cannot see any wireless networks. Normally about 7 up in my area.
I've tried uninstalled the device and installing it again.
I've tried checking for newer drivers, but isn't any.
I've tried resetting these in command prompt (admin) net sch advfirewall, int ip, int ipv6, winsock and rebooted afterwards.
I've tried plugging the usb wifi adapter into a different usb port.
I've tried restarting the Router. Mobile phone picks up wifi in the same room.
I updated to Windows 10 earlier today. I thought I had lost some important work files and some pics of my kiddo from the last 3 months. Found them by looking in the network folder. Copied them to the desktop to remind myself to send a copy to my external hard drive when I got home. Laptop restarted and when it came back on the files were gone. I could search for them and find them but they wouldn't open. In desperation I restored back to Windows 8 in the hopes that they would be found but they are nowhere to be seen. Don't even show up in a search. System restore shows no prior restoration points.
I have about 70 hours worth of work done that needs done by the end of the calendar year, work that I will have to make up on my own time and not get paid for if I can't find these files. I also have the last 3 months worth of pictures of my daughter on there, her birthday trip to the zoo, visit with my sister, things I want to put in her scrapbook.
Just had computer upgraded to windows 10. When I try to acces the old shortcuts, I get path not found error message

I just trashed my old computer and built a new one (moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10). I had quite a few files I wanted to keep, so I stored them all on an external hard drive. I can play the video files in question from the external hard drive, but when I try to copy the files to my internal drive (so that I can store my external safely) the transfer rate quickly drops to zero and then after a few seconds a pop up tells me that the file cannot be found. I know this to not be true since I can still play the files.
View 1 RepliesI upgraded this morning, loved it except no multi monitor. came home from work downloaded the latest nvida drivers for windows 10 still not multi monitor.The biggest issue, most of my folders on my D: drive (2 Mirrored drives) were gone... All my pics, music, etc.. so I had to uninstall Windows 10.
Now I have a D: and a G: drive with various folders in each from my previous Window 7 D: drive.. I think Win10 broke my mirror. at least I got all my files back.
I got a new laptop today which came with Windows 10 which I've never used before, so everything's still very new to me.
I've been trying to move files off my previous laptop which runs Windows 7. I've spent a few hours collecting everything I need onto an ext. hard drive, but once I cut & paste my files onto this new laptop, nothing shows up. The destination folder is completely empty, and I made sure while the files were copying over.
Is there anywhere else they might have gone? Luckily I was able to ctrl+z to get all my files back or else they would've been gone forever. But this time all the files reappear in the ext hard drive like they were meant to, so I'm really confused. Is it a problem with Windows, or my external?
I've also noticed that the files copy over just fine if I send them bit by bit, say, about 3GB each time? But I've got 400+GB sitting around here.
I upgraded to Windows 10 last week. I had folders and some files missing right away. I went into the "Old Windows" folder and nothing was there. Also, I couldn't go back to Windows 7 or a previous system restore because an error is all that would come up. Now, after shutting down my computer and restarting the next day, I'm missing folders. For example, I create a folder I title "Edit" for images to work on everyday (I'm a photographer), and the folder is completely missing.
View 1 RepliesI upgraded my laptop from Windows 8 to 10 a few months back. Of recent, my system displays two error signs whenever I start the system
There was a problem starting
C:/users/appdata/local/webrest/bin/webrest.dll
and
C:/users/appdata/local/ExtensionKingdom/xBin/ExtensionKingdom.dll
I have attached a snapshot of the error messages. How can I sort this out?
I have upgraded from 7 to 10 and there really is nothing wrong with my machine but I seem to have a lot of missing files in the registry and I was wondering if they can be deleted. There really is no rush with this one.
View 4 Repliesi was planning on upgrading my W7 main machine this weekend to windows 10, at one point i did have the Downloaded Files to do the upgrade, but those files are now missing From the Folder.
I did clean up my C: in prep for the install, did i remove the Windows 10 Files., if so, How do i get them back.
Updates are up to date.
I noticed this morning, when I was trying to correlate a problem I was having with Quicken, that my update history is missing from Settings. View your Update History. I realize that I can see it in Control Panel Programs. Programs and Features Installed Updates but I am curious if there is a way that I can bring this info back to Settings.

View 1 RepliesWhere can I find the setting to choose where my downloaded files end up. I would like music samples to dl to specific place, vst instrument zips to a specific place, etc....
Up until now whenever I dl something with 10 it just auto goes to downloads unlike before I had 10.
It's been annoying but I figured I'd get a round toit one day. Can't seem to find how to fix this.
