Today while I was copying movies from my one HDD to another, I had a power failure after which I restarted my PC and got this message

Profile.png


Switch to my profile and all my downloads were gone, along with my movies and software I downloaded. Every time I now reset my PC the same problem reoccur, again all my downloads are gone, along with many installed programs like chrome and everything I copied to my desktop.
Any help please

All my games also revert back to their original settings, like for rift I have to choose a new region, and all my gfx settings is on default

or

The fix is:
1. Login using another local administrator account. (Make one if there isnt another).
2. Remove the corrupted user from Users in control panel.
3. Move the corresponding folder from the Documents and Settings (XP) or Users folder (Vista and Windows7) to the desktop of the newly created admin user’s desktop.
4. Open regedit and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Find the key on the left that corresponds to the corrupted profile. Note the value of the string on the right called GUID. Delete all keys that list the corrupt user profile (.bak versions and regular).
5. THIS IS THE STEP THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO KB:
Go up a few lines in regedit to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid.
6. Delete the key (keys?) within this ProfileGuid folder that match the value of the GUID string that you noted above.
7. Restart PC
8. Login as the temporarily created admin profile. Go to control panel and recreate the corrupted profile. (Make it an administrator at least temporarily so you’ll be able to access the files we moved to the other admin’s desktop if needed).
9. Logout and login as fixed user.
10. Copy any files from the temp admin’s desktop where we copied the corrupted profiles data, into the appropriate places in the fixed profile. This includes My Documents,Favorites, Outlook data, and any other user data you need.
11. Once everything is working properly, you can remove the temp admin from control panel> Users and delete its folder.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE DATA YOU NEED BEFORE REMOVING THE TEMP ADMIN.

I guess there is know way to get my downloads back, I already tried some recovery software and nada.

Why did it gone missing anyway?

Where did you store the downloaded files? Most likely still there, you may have more luck booting a Linux live cd to recover the files.
