Windows 10 Deleted Data Recovery

There are many users who asked me the perfect solution to recover the data that have been lost during cut and paste method. For example, user cut the folder that contains many essential documents and trying to paste it in pen drive, but during the process, suddenly your system shuts down due to some technical problem. And then you again restart your system and finds that folder neither on the desktop nor in the pen drive. So, how a user can restore lost data after cut and paste method especially when data is not backed up?

Accidental deletion of a file has been a problem for users using PC since 1995, which is why recycle bin first appeared in Windows. However, now Microsoft comes up with its amazing launch of Windows i.e. Windows 10. You must be already planning for Windows 10 up-gradation. But hang on, there are some risks associated with this upgrade. So here we are putting some few considerations that you can opt to avoid the risks involved in Windows 10.

One of the biggest common problem included in Windows 10 is the deletion of crucial data like deletion of important files or deletion of files associated with many programs and so on.

Microsoft has removed all the programs which causes loss of data like Desktop Gadgets, Inbuilt Game, and Windows Media Center and etc. However, some users think to keep files on Desktop or even in My Documents, but once the upgrade is completed all the saved data will get erased.

Backup is an important step and always be recommended before taking some actions like junk files cleaning, drive formatting, system upgrade and etc. But, if you don’t backup your data then you can permanently lose all your essential files. Still, you can find your files that have not been fully erased from the system using the right data recovery tools.

Ways and Means to recover and restore deleted files from Windows 10.

Here are some steps that can help you in recovering your lost data:

No.1 Try to restore deleted files from recycle bin

If your files have been deleted from Windows 10 desktop, try to restore them using recycle bin, choose files you want to restore, right-click on it and choose “Restore”.

No. 2 Create copy of the original lost file

If you have tried the above method and nothing happened, try to recover your files with this method. Create the same copy of a file with the same name of lost files. Go to “properties”, select “Previous Version” and select the right version of the file. It is essential to think of all the names of the files that have been lost. But this will not work in restoring multimedia files, this will only help to restore document files.

No. 3 Data Recovery Software for Windows 10

If you use Recovery tool, your permanently deleted data can be easily recovered without modifying the original files. As Windows 10 introduced in last month so it is not necessary that all recovery program supports windows 10 data recovery. But one of the program that support data recovery is Data Recovery Software Wizard. It’s the only software that is compatible with all Windows Platforms including Windows 10.

Windows Data Recovery Software Wizard is the best software that can recover all types of data like image, music, videos, spreadsheet and many more. It offers many amazing modes like Deleted, Formatted, Partitioned and Raw Data Recovery Mode. A user can use these modes according to its requirement. These modes help in recovering the lost data without any data loss. The application provides many advanced features and most important thing is you can download the demo version and check the software.

Similarly, in case of pen drive, cut and paste method is the most often used method to transfer data from one location to another but cut and paste does not need the deletion of data after transferring the files. Therefore, this method is easier to use and save our time and effort. But the disadvantage of using this method is that data may get lost in transferring process once an error occurred.

To recover the data deleted by cut and paste method you need a particular recovery tool because manual recovery of pen drive data is not so easy and it can also lessen the changes to recover data. So, one of the tools available is Pen Drive Data Recovery Software. The software and easy to use and supports all types of pen drives like HP, Sony, Transcend, SanDisk and many more.

Every Apple user knows about Siri, known as the user’s personal assistant and knowledge narrator. Siri was designed by Apple to help users use iPhone without touching it. Siri uses simple but natural language interface which answer any question.

Google and Microsoft Working Together To Decrease False Positives in Anti-Virus Software

It is quite common with Anti-Virus programs do make a false alarm, we download something we trust and anti-virus gives an already that a suspicious thing is detected even though we are 100% sure the file is completely fine. In some cases Apps are not Whitelisted or their behavior is a bit suspicious for Anti-virus programs. Well the good news is, Google and Microsoft are finally doing something about it with their new project ‘Trusted Source”. The project will focus on taking care of false positives that arise in Anti-Virus Industry. Currently, Google and Microsoft are working together get rid of false positives in Windows.

The working will be quite simple, developers will provide their files in a catalog to whitelist them and Anti-virus companies will be contacted if these files are detected. This might not seem much of a big deal but it actually is quite a big flaw as this can directly affect the trust of the users who is using the program.

MWC 2015 Event Is Confirmed By Microsoft

Every year when the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is over we start waiting for Mobile Word Congress. In this show, many different companies come to show off their new products, like tablets or smartphones.  We expect many flagship devices from major manufacturers like HTC and Samsung. All of the major brands will be their and so does Microsoft. As Microsoft is also making its own handsets, there is a good chance it will be there too.

Today, Microsoft started sending out the invites for its Mobile World Congress 2015 event to press. The invites can only tell that Microsoft will make some kind of announcement on 08:30 CET March 2^nd, there is no info on what Microsoft is going to reveal. Only thing we do know are Snapdragon 810-powered Lumia devices to be released this year, however, there is not even a clue whether these devices will be released at MWC 2015 or not. There are no rumors about these devices either so there is a good chance that these High-End Lumia devices will not be announced at MWC 2015.

Lumia Flagships Will Be Released Later This Year Powered By Snapdragon 810

It has been quite some time since we have seen a Flagship Lumia. Microsoft did released some low-end and mid-range devices but when it comes to flagship Lumia there is nothing but disappointment. Microsoft recently mentioned that they are working on a Flagship but nothing official was revealed. Now, today it has been confirmed that next High-end Lumia will feature Snapdragon 810 processor. Snapdragon 810 has been quite under the radar for past few weeks and Samsung even dropped it for its next Galaxy S6. However, Qualcomm has now revealed that it is being featured in more than 60 premium devices this year and Microsoft Lumia being one of them.

In the Press release, the general Manager of Microsoft Juha Kokkonen referred to the “long-standing collaboration” that Microsoft and Qualcomm share. Kokkonen said that they will continue this relationship “to deliver best in class Lumia smartphones, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 processors”. If this statement is taken word to word then this means Microsoft is going to introduce more than one High-end Lumia devices this year.

Microsoft might Launch Phone/Laptop Hybrid Device

Laptop/tablet hybrid has been quite known in the past year or so and many devices like these have been released in the market. The device might sound different but it actually makes sense.

However, now there are rumors that Microsoft is working on phone/Laptop hybrid and to tell you the truth, we don’t know anything about how it will look. The rumor states “Microsoft also plans to introduce new hardware, with some set to appear this week and a phone-laptop hybrid that might appeal to enterprise customers being developed for further in the future.”

We only know that Microsoft is working on such device, there is still no details on how it will look and what it will feature. As said above, a laptop/tablet hybrid is just like a laptop, but comes with a display like tablet that can easily be removed and played around with. However, this new phone/laptop hybrid will be a completely new thing. 

Microsoft’s new Extremely Affordable Handset Nokia 215

We never think about going down below a smartphone anymore and are looking forward for next flagship phones by companies like Apple, Samsung, LG, HTC, Song and many more. However, there are some areas in the world where owning a phone is even considered a huge deal. Nokia use to target these markets and now as Microsoft officially owns Nokia, it seems Microsoft is following their footsteps.

Microsoft is working on eye tracking Keyboard

Many of us like tapping on the screen while typing and are comfortable tapping keys using their smartphone or tablet. However, there are some who think that using keyboards like Swype is a better and faster way to type. If you don’t know about Swype, it’s a keyboard alternative for normal tapping keyboard which lets you swipe letters with your fingers to type words. Don’t you think it would be quite interesting if you could do the same swiping thing but with your eyes? Well, Microsoft is working on this idea and has recently patented it. It is quite similar to Swype but in this case the movement of the eyes of the user will be tracked so they could provide command from their eyes to swipe out letters.

Now the question is what kind of system could use such feature? Well, the most common would be Head-mounted displays. Like, you can use your Google glass and type out a whole email while using your eyes. It definitely seems a potential idea, but we should keep in consideration that using our eyes to continuously poke on the side to find different words would be quite tiring for the eyes.
