In case you are unable to find the files, you can recover files using Advanced Disk Recovery, the best data recovery tool for Windows.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Best Ways to Locate Missing Files<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Method 1- Sign out of Temporary Windows Profile<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On certain occasions when you upgrade to Windows, a temporary Windows profile is created. Because of which you are unable to see files saved in the old profile. To confirm if that is the reason why you cannot see files, sign out of the temporary profile and sign in with your old profile. To do so, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1.<\/strong> Press Windows + I &amp; open Windows Settings.<br \/>\n<strong>2.<\/strong> Click Accounts &gt; Sync your settings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2814\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2021\/12\/sync-your-settings.jpg\" alt=\"Sync your settings\" width=\"743\" height=\"418\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><br \/>\nIf you see the message you are logged on with a temporary profile. Roaming options are currently unavailable, it means you are signed with a temporary profile. To get back lost files sign in again using the old profile.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3.<\/strong> Restart the system &gt; sign in using the old profile and look for missing files.<\/p>\n<div class=\"color-box\">\n<div class=\"shadow\">\n<div class=\"info-tab note-icon\" style=\"background:#47ADE0\"><i><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"note-box\" style=\"background:#d5e9f6\">\n<p> <strong> Note : <\/strong>Before you reboot the system take a backup of files, you save on the temporary files after upgrading to Windows.
