I recently updated my computer to fix some issues with File Explorer lagging, but now I've noticed that I'm missing a ton of files that were stored on my hard disk. I've been searching online and found a lot of people reporting missing files after updates, but their missing files are on their computers. My situation seems different because the files I can't find were on my hard disk. Has anyone experienced this problem? I really need help figuring out how to recover my files!

When you say you 'updated,' what specific steps did you take? Just trying to understand what changes might have happened.
If you've got a verified backup, now would be a good time to restore your files from there. I know backing up is rare for many, but since you've updated, this could disrupt file access.
Make sure to check the health of your hard disk. You can download a tool like CrystalDiskInfo to see if everything is okay with your drive. It might help diagnose any issues you're facing.
It's possible that your files were automatically moved to OneDrive during the update, especially if they were in folders like Documents or Pictures. Check there to see if your files are safe in the cloud! Let me know which folders you typically store your files in, and I can help you further.
