Can you at least recover your files? Been here a couple times. I mean, it’s Windows. 😝

My goto for quick? Backup: • %ProgramData% • Your user folder: Users\yourname

  • Including the AppData folder. • Registry backup
  • browser favorites export

Most apps can be reinstalled. Their settings are in programdata and appdata usually. Anything else you might need is probably in the registry.

The file still there, just that in the process of reinstall windows it also uninstall all app, so i just thought "meh" and start all over again. Now i don't have to clean unused app and obsolete website bookmark myself 🙈
