  10. Hello Sirrahshar,

    This is not a new problem. Read this article to fix: How to Find Bygone Files After the Upgrade to Windows 10

  11. obviously, no one is addressing the problem of RAJKUMAR KALANGE. I am having the same problem he has. I’m logged in with a temporary profile(whatever that means and however, it happened I am clueless) I just want to find my photos and other files. If I ask Cortana to “find my files” she only finds up to 100. I’ve got thousands of files and hundreds of photos that I need to access. This is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever done. I’ve been attempting for 3 days. If I don’t have an extrication soon, I am returning back to Windows 7. Also, I cannot access the app store from the start menu. The only method is the ask Cortana but then the icon pops up and says “opening app store” and nothing happens. When I go to the URL for the app store and click on “get the app” nothing happens.
