Disappearing courses

My PC recently did a Windows 10 upgrade and every single course I had downloaded from here disappeared. Not in Course directory or anyplace else. Very weird. I am currently downloading again. Anyone else experience this?
thanks

Haven't experienced it but I'll be interested to see if other problems arise over the next week or so for people.
2 suspect threads now in 24 hours regarding a possible Windows 10 update.
May be coincidence but for anyone here, I would be putting updates on hold for a little while until we can make certain the latest Win 10 update isn't causing problems. The problem in the other thread, if it is caused by a Win 10 update, would be a major disaster.

I heard something similar a long time ago, and I thought the courses ended up in a protected folder or area, in the Microsoft Store perhaps? Sorry, my memory fails me...

Yes, that sounds about right. Links 2003 needs to be run as admin in Win 10 to prevent course issues.

I think it's called the "VIRTUAL STORE"...

If its VirtualStore, theyd still show up within Links though. (at least they used to, still do for me. Its likely I dont have that update installed)
