Help guys. Awhile back I had to reinstall windows after it had crashed on me, and so it created a windows.old file that had all my old files on it. I would go C drive, windows.old, users, user, then i could find all my stuff there. It was there for a few months too.
But today I needed to get something from there, and saw that the "user" folder is missing, I have other folders in there like Public, Default, defaultuser0, and hanna (my name) but none of those has my old stuff in it.
I think the reason it just happened was because of a windows update. I need to say, I've had windows 10 since 2015, I didn't just install it. I had to reinstall it months ago, and all my files were safely in windows.old folder, but the other day windows 10, im assuming had a huge update, because it actually asked me what time should i update. I didn't think it was going to get rid of my old files, but that's the only thing i can think of. No opererating system upgrade, always had windows 10, just recently there was an update OF windows 10 that I think may be the issue, and if that is the issue, is there a way to roll back a verision of windows 10, so i can get my old files back? Thanks so much.
