You don't change this setting in
properties. There is a specific setting to tell Windows to show hidden
files. there may be another to tell Windows to show system files.
Since the files appear to be there, they may be hidden or, less likely, have
been incorrectly designated as system files.

In the properties control on the Documents
folder, it shows 286 files but when displaying the folder I see 13 subfolders
and only two files; an ini file and a zip file. Yes, I did start to put
files into the folders I created for them but I didn't get very many
moved. When I look at the subfolders, all the files that I moved do show
up in there. I don't remember file names so I can't very well do a
search.
I don't know what kind of an update it did.
When I shut it down, it said it would do an update and then shut down. I
didn't get a choice. Maybe there's a place where I can roll back to
before the update; kind of like a restore point in xp.

Consider the most simple possibility
first. Someone who uses Windows 10 can tell you how to do this.
Set Windows to show hidden files. perhaps the files became hidden when
the update occurred.

Try
searching for the files using Windows search feature.
Maybe they somehow did not end up where
you expect.
Also
refreshing the file explorer window with f5 sometimes seems to help. But
that’s probably not going to help you as you say you already opened the
explorer window to your new folder *after* copying the
files.
You
could try other things. Go to where you think the documents ended up on the
c (or whatever) drive and check the properties. Does it show space used by
the folder? If it says “0 bytes”, it’s possible the files did not even
copy.
I’ve
never had files physically disappear after a windows update, but it’s
possible something is screwed up with the documents library. You should
still be able to access the actual documents folder. Maybe open the run box
and type in the path to your personal documents folder and see what happens.
In my case it would be “c:\users\jm\documents”.

Subject: [nvda] Files not

Hi, I'm just
starting to use my new Win10 machine. I copied many files and folders
from my documents folder of an older machine into the documents folder under
"this pc" on the new one. Now when I go to this pc and open the
documents folder, all I see is folders; no files. I know they're in
there because I was accessing them before windows did an update. Now
they don't show up. Neither in "this pc" nor in "file explorer".--my
mistake: two filenames do show, an ini file and a zip file. When I
look at properties for the folder, I see that there are 286 items in
there.
What should I do to get them back?
Thanks.
Sorry; I failed
to mention that I'm using the current version of NVDA. But the demo of
jaws doesn't see the files either.
