After the update\restart, all of the favorites folders still exist, but the actual favorites inside are gone.
I used the Shadow Explorer tool and was able see that they were there yesterday, but not after the restart. I was able to recover most using the tool, the favorites bar didn't have a shadow copy for some reason. What happened to the favorites? Why were they removed? Is there an easier, more complete way to recover them? Windows 8.1 on a Dell Latitude E7440 16gb Ram, 512GB SSD
