    It is now two plus years after the original post...and windows is still not able to address this issue. It continues to happen - time after time.  I want my files so I can move them to Apple like all my other devices. 

    My Computer updated...and now ALLLLLLL my files are gone.  Office files, graphics files, font files - you name it - they are gone.  Is Microsoft going to reimburse me for those files???? 

    There is only one user on this computer and I am signed in as that user and not a temporary user. There is nothing to sync. 

    I have searched for hidden files. There are none. 

    You decide I must accept updates and then my files are gone.  I need these files. You are messing with my livelihood and schoolwork.  I want a solution and I want it NOW.
