    Windows 10 version 1809 had a known bug that caused files to be deleted during the update. To fix this:

    1. Update Windows to the latest version—Microsoft released patches to fix this issue.
    2. Check your Recycle Bin and backup folders for missing files.
    3. Use System Restore to revert to a point before the update if possible.
    4. Manually reinstall missing drivers like Dolby.

    Avoid using version 1809 if possible; upgrade to a newer, stable Windows release.

    Run File History immediately to recover deleted files, and check if Storage Sense is enabled for automatic cleanup.
