My PC froze I restarted it and it was in preparing windows for a while. Then once on everything was gone. My SSD was still full but I couldnt see the files anywhere and things like steam were uninstalled.
Nothing is there anymore not even the wallpaper even though its there on the lock screen. I look at file explorer and there is nothing. I had to reinstall steam but I still had the installer installed. I scared its a virus. Has anyone seen this?

I cant log into my microsoft since it keeps coming up with errror 0x80860010
These errors keeps showing up even though I haven't attempted to login and this is preventing me from doing anything to do with Microsoft which is less than ideal do you have any idea on how to fix this?
