After having some Windows updates a user rebooted his computer and after that he lost his MS Excel file (2007) that was saved on his Desktop.
When where able to find the file back in his mail.
One reason that could be the cause of such data loss is virus, spyware and Malware. Always ensure that your antivirus is updated and that you run scans in the system whenever possible and frequent as possible.
Another caution is to ensure restarting of the system can only take place when you are aware not automatically. Because this could cause loss of unsaved data in your system. To disable automatic rebooting open run command [Win+R key] and then type gpedit.msc and then press the enter key , follow the fully instructions at this site.

Hi,
Microsoft update does have some issues with update installation in the past. But Microsoft says that they have fixed the bug and it is stable now. Anyway try for a file scan in your system to see if you can locate the file. Always remember to save your work in other locations of your system. Desktop act like a temporary space. desktop is more like a system related area. So try to save your work in my documents, or other folders…
If you sure that you can't find the data, then go for a data recovery software like Asfotech, Recuva. I am sure that they can find your lost documents. Go to your windows update menu and select the option to" notify me,but don't download or install them automatically" so that you can make sure that all your works are saved before Microsoft started updating or installing the updates to your system.
Good luck.
