Updated Windows 10 and lost some files...

Have you ever had such issues? What can I do with it?

That became a known issue a week ago and Microsoft pulled that update <<< I read
You are one of the users that got stung by Microsoft on that update (I suppose).
If you didn't have you data backed up somewhere -- you're screwed.

Best solution I found was using LINUX -- I dumped Windows in 2008
10 years && no Windows (or Win Viruses) problems

try to boot using linux and see if you still can find that files or not.
i think you are screwed.

You can try to start the windows by USB where the USB was installed either windows XP, win 7, Ubutu, etc. Hopefully you can find the files.

Use an automatic backup program if you value your data in the future.
Add a separate internal SATA hard dive or just buy an external USB3 backup.

Windows is a Hack -- why should a system update destroy your data in the first place? Think about that ...
