The damage is done, and you would like to be able to Data Recovery? It is sometimes possible, but it is not systematic. If a Windows update went wrong, you can attempt to restore Windows to an earlier date , or access Windows 10 recovery options.

I take this opportunity to advise you to separate Windows 10 files from your personal documents. If you have only one Data Recovery hard disk in your PC, you can for example create a second partition on which you will deposit your files. 

Thus, in the event of a Windows crash during an update, for example, your documents will not be impacted. If none of these solutions work, you’ll need to take the next step: use data recovery software. 

As can be read on the site of Ontrack , a well-known data recovery software, human error is one of the major factors in Twitter data loss. However, virus infection of the machine or hardware failure can also corrupt or render inaccessible your files. 

Using such software can often allow you to recover important files. If this does not give sufficient results, you can also entrust your hard drive or USB key to a specialized firm that has specific software and skills. You have been warned!
