I have to ask, how did you accomplish this? Did you just navigate into that user folder and drag desktop into the recycle bin?
#I put my desktop in my recycle bin and I cant get it back

Well, I was torenting some uhh Linux isos and when my isos were done downloading, the foldee was nameless and I couldn't open it, I redownloaded them and it was fine so I thought nothing of it. I restart my pc and uh yeh this
My desktop is stuck in le recycle bin, I can't delete, move, copy or restore It x3
I talked to my crow is soft and they suggested going back to an old restore point, retrieving the files I need from my desktop and then coming back to my current point
Which is worth a shot imo
Oh it's worth mentioning, I was downloading these isos to the desktop
If this fails ill try live booting Linux and exploring my windows install to try find the files I lost
jade moon
I see yeah, that's a valid way to approach this.
stone atlas
Which one u refering to there lel?
stone atlas
Do you not get the joke lol? It's mircosoft
My
Crow
Soft
I talked with their support gentleman
jade moon
I did get the joke I just wanted to double down on it
stone atlas
Oh Oki damn it now i look stoopid af
jade moon
But yeah, restore point would be the way I would approach this as well.
jade moon
No idea, depends on the system
jade moon
It was kickass until you managed to get the desktop into the recycle bin lol
stone atlas
Lmao fair
An aside if you don't mind, this pc must ALWAYS power on, then off, then go into the bios and then boot to actually boot
Why
Lol
jade moon
It could be that the boot priorities are a bit messed up which makes it confused for a sec before it finds the drive that actually has the OS on it
On a system I worked once the issue was similar to what you were describing, turns out the boot priorities were set to Windows Management 1. Main drive 2. Flipped them around and it stopped doing it.
stone atlas
It was much worse before I updated the bios, you just turned on and off and on and off and it would maybe sometimes boot if Ur rally lucky
Full clip of that
Like 1/10 chance
jade moon
Interesting...
If it gets stuck on BIOS splash screen like that, it would imply that the main drive would be failing.
But if the drive is like "newish" it could just be like a poor SATA connection or smth
stone atlas
On a system I worked once the issue was similar to what you were describing, tur...
Kay ill maybe have a look at that, tho as far as I'm aware, all the other boot priorities are disabled
stone atlas
But if the drive is like "newish" it could just be like a poor SATA connection o...
It's a gen4 nvme drive
Also system restore failed sooo am try Linux ig lol
jade moon
Yeah the splash screen issue is something you would have to look into a bit more, can't say I've heard of a gen 4 nvme just suddenly dying.
Hell afaik the OS is just corrupted and it will get solved with Linux lol.
stone atlas
I sorta question whether it's some kind of peripheral and also whether it's ram speed related thing cause there were points in time where unplugging certain devices from the computer made it boot first time and times where disabling XMP made it boot first time
It's kinda inconsistent and strange
jade moon
When issues are like super inconsistent, that would imply an issue with the power supply.
In this case there are too many variables to make an educated guess though.
stone atlas
It's not quite that inconsistent
It now consistently does the on, off, bios, windows ordeal
jade moon
Well you did mention that the BIOS update helped so... Probably a motherboard related issue?
stone atlas
Maybe idk qwq
jade moon
I don't know though, way too many details that I would have to account for.
stone atlas
So Ur saying just try things and see whats what
jade moon
Pretty much yeah, find something that consistently causes the issue or consistently solves it. I would look at the PSU side first on hwinfo to check for voltages and shit. Basically all the basic software out of the way first before you move onto tearing hardware out of the system.
stone atlas
I cannot be arsed with my GPU lol
Here let me show you something
This is the only spare pc power supply I own
So yeh
No
Plus my current PSU has one of those 16pin GPU thingies and this PSU doesnt
And I am NOT using the adapter lol
stone atlas
Update: yes infact disabling XMP fixes the booting mayhem but I want XMP so yeh shjeoanvng
