I recently faced a serious issue with my PC. It crashed, displaying a DMW error message. When I restarted, I got stuck on the ROG logo screen. After trying three times to reset, my PC led me to a repair screen. Unfortunately, now all my files in Downloads, Videos, and Pictures are completely gone. Is there any way to recover these lost files?

Have you thought about using a system restore point? If the problem started after some Windows updates, rolling back might help. Just keep in mind it works best if you had restore points set up before the issue occurred.

You might want to consider using data recovery software to try and get those files back. Alternatively, you could take your PC to a data recovery shop, especially if the files are really important. Also, this is a good reminder to back up your files regularly to an external drive or the cloud to avoid losing data in the future.
