maybedog Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I had to reinstall windows but ran into problems so had to redo it a few times. When I finally got it working, I discovered that it only kept the previous two installs and therefore all of my files from the original install were missing. OneDrive had only backed up some of it so I lost everything. I downloaded recuva and ran it. I had so much stuff that it took many many hours and I had to go to bed. I left the computer running and changed power options so it would never turn off. When I woke up and went to look at the results window, it had found over 750,000 files and was still plugging away so I left it going and went and did stuff. When I came back to check it, the window had been closed. (My browser had been closed, too, so it's possible windows installed some update and restarted because I didn't check to make sure auto update was off.) So I don't have the results of the deep scan. Does the list of files still exist somewhere or do I have to run the scan again? And if a windows update wasn't why it closed (I've turned off windows update now), how can I prevent it from closing again? My backups are from two years ago because I was relying on #*&^ OneDrive so I've lost thousands of books, songs, audiobooks, and files. (Fortunately all my photos are saved in multiple places automatically.) I'm freaking out because the other software I tried found a tenth of what this software did. I need to keep using my computer and everything I do is creating temp files that might be overwriting the stuff I need to recover. Please help!

Moderators Andavari Posted April 25, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 25, 2020 Recuva doesn't create/save a list, it's only what's displayed within it as it's resident. Therefore if you close Recuva it unfortunately means you'll have to start all over from scratch with it scanning for deleted files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
