This is the third time it has happened in a week. First I lost everything, every file, and folder, from the desktop. I had no idea what happened, tried recovery softwares and they couldn't even find the files. I thought they got sent to Recycle bin, but they're not, its clean.
Yesterday, I created a "Wallpapers" folder and downloaded hundreds of them and kept them there, then I shut it down. Today, the folder's gone. Again recovery softwares couldn't even find a trace.
I recreated the folder, and also added some more folders and random junk files to the desktop as a test. Shut the pc down. An hour later I boot it up, and everything that was on desktop, all the junk I added, everything's gone.
Why is this happening? I scanned PC with Avast and Kaspersky, and there is no malware or virus report, 100% clean.
The files and folders just disappear without even a trace, irrecoverable through any recovery softwares. Please help. Anyone has faced this before? It only happens on the desktop for now, but I am afraid I will lose important data from my drive partitions, in case this starts happening in there too.
