Files, programs and folders disappear!!!

[Paingamesyt]

Just now i did see something very streange on my lap top. Now after turning on i did see something strange, all files and folders (on desktop, downloads and documents) has disappear. This windows is fresh instaled and i only use this lap top for YT and movies by using BS Player so i dont think its some malware or virus.

 

I only have instaled: Fortnite, BS Player, Torrent and Baidu Wifi Hotspot, chrome and VLC Media.

 

Now i wanted to watch movies but torrent disappear, iso cd files and all files that was on Download and Documents. 

 

So i know that no one touches my Lap Top and i know that i did not delete anything so i was very confused.

 

Searched almost 1h for files but no luck, then i decide to restart Lap Top and after restart, all files, folders and programs where back and this is first time in my 13 years of using PC that this happens

 

Any idea what was this??? Is it possible that HDD is defected or i have intruder in my PC???

have you enabled show hidden folders?

Start>Search>type "File Explorer Options">under view tab>click "show hidden files, folders, and drives">click Apply

 

if that doesn't work, you might be infected with a virus

After signing in to the lap top, did the files disappear or were they gone right after sign in?    If you noticed they disappear just after signing in and were restored after reboot, you may have a profile issue.
