How To Stop Your Laptop From Deleting All Your Files When Restarted

There are three ways to resolve this issue completely that I’m aware of and they all work perfectly in solving this problem.

1. Go to the start menu and click Control Panel

2. Under “User Account and Family Safety” click “Add or Remove User Account”

3. When you arrive at your computer user accounts panel, you need to create new user account. Click on the “Create a New Account” button and then enter the user name such as your name.

4. Make the new user account you are creating an administrator account just by ticking the round circle there just like the photo below.

5. Click “Create Account”

When an account is created successfully you should be able to see all your account name on the accounts panel. Now that we have created new account we have to delete the current corrupted account for good.

6. To delete the current corrupted account press “Control + L” to logout the current account. When you are logout then click “Swift User” and select the new account you just created and login to it.

On the new account you will see everything fresh there, there is nothing in that account since it’s a new account. On this fresh account things will be done the normal way and your files will not delete even if you restart your computer, you can run a test by putting some files and it and then restart it to confirm it ok now. Before before you relax you need to delete the previous bad account from your computer, so follow the step below to do that.

7. Go back to the start menu and then click “Add or Remove User Account”

8. You will see all the current active accounts on your computer, double-click on the corrupted account and on the left side of the page you will see “delete the account” close to the down. Click the delete button and confirm you are sure you want to delete the account and that all.

With this you are free from the trouble of loosing all your files whenever you computer restarts. If this process didn’t solve your own problem then there is two more ways.

Check your computer installed application and restart your computer then save some more files this time and then turn off and turn on your computer to see if it solve the problem. If the problem persist then you need to format your computer completely by installation new Windows OS on it. If you can’t complete the task yourself then you can take it to software engineer to help you format your computer and install new OS on it.
