Question WIN 10 Folder not visible

[dwcdv]

Hello,
I updated some drivers and next morning when I wanted to start, I got a message: No operating system . I removed the drive and mounted it in my Mac. There was only 1 Folder: Recovery and that was empty. I run WIN 10 via Parallels and also in the Explorer it shows that one Folder. In Diskmanager I was able to open that partition and saw the complete Folder with WIN 10. How can I make that Folder visible and functional again?

Appreciate your suggestions.
Thank you.
Dorian

how did you update some driver?

 

[dwcdv]

In Device Manager I clicked through all devices (there were only a few updating)
and also in Win there was an option to update. It could have been that.

Is there a tool in WIN 10 which would make that folder visible and functional again?

Which folder?

Running this within Parallels brings a whole other level of complexity.

Hello,
I updated some drivers...

Why? Unless a driver update fixes a problem that you have been encountering there is NEVER a good reason to update drivers, especially "just because...."

 

[dwcdv]

The reason why I updated the drivers is that I had many freezes. Which can be very annoying

The Folder I want to get back is my whole Windows 10 which is currently hidden.
Parallels might not be the best option, but I have no other WIN I could run it.

Well, if the Windows subsystem isn't running, there is no functionality in Windows to make that visible.

This is not necessarily a (windows) driver issue. Did you consult the Windows log files first?

I can not start WIN anymore. It says Missing operating system.

Rebuild it with a new install in Parallels, and recover your personal data from the backup you made before this happened.

That being the case you are now in the format and reinstall Windows phase.

I have a backup 3 days old, I just was trying to recover my existing installation because I had some data the day before.
But if it is not possible, I will just format the Disk and restore the backup

Well, thanks. I just asked if there would be an easy solution. So I just go ahead and restore my backup.
