When I turned on my computer this morning, instead of my usual desktop that I've used for the last several years I got a "brand new" desktop. One that stated "This is a temporary desktop. None of your files are available" (or something equally as scary) and "Welcome to your new HP computer" (this computer is anything but new). I'm using MS Windows 7, because 8 is a horrible mess (I know this, I use it at work) and therefore, I fear that Windows 10 is more of the same awfulness, only newer. I tried switching users under the misguided notion that I had accidentally logged on wrong, but it said I was logged in as myself. So, I restarted my computer and all was as it should be. Phew!
Does any of you computer gurus out there know what happened? This terrified me as I was afraid that all my writing was gone, vanished, vamoosed!
(Even though everything was working as it should just last night.) Is this something I should worry about or is it a one time glitch? I do have a terabyte external storage thingy, but it has never worked properly and most times when I turn it on to download stuff onto or off of it, it usually switches off before I can use it. (A complete waste of money, in my opinion.) Good thing most of my LnC stories are backed up on the Archives!
Any help or soothing words to calm my racing heart would be appreciated. Thanks.
