Hello !! I have a little problem, I have win 11 dev on vmware and 3-4 days ago suddenly the user folders disappeared from (this pc), only manually I can find them.
I don't remember the version but I had it for maybe 2 months, I thought maybe if update to the latest version (25193) will fix it but it didn't. I tried sfc and dism restorehealth but didn't help.
Is there any other solution I can try ?? Thanks in advance!!

Have you tried pinning them to Quick Access?

Hello, :-)

That's sad. Why they do that ?? I like it better before. So the only options are either pin to quick access or modify the registry, I have already 3-4 .reg files to other things and I don't want another one but I don't have much more options.

I'm afraid not if you want them back. Luckily, the REG file makes it easy.
