Has win10 update deleted my google mail contacts

That's frustrating!

It's possible that the Windows 10 update may have caused issues with your Google Mail contacts, but it's unlikely that the update itself deleted your contacts. Here are a few potential reasons why your contacts might be missing:

  1. Syncing issues: If your Google Mail account was not properly synced with your Windows 10 device, it's possible that some contacts were not updated or deleted. Check your Google Mail account settings to ensure that contacts are enabled for syncing.
  2. Account changes: If you've recently changed your Google Mail account password or settings, it may have caused issues with syncing your contacts.
  3. Third-party app issues: If you're using a third-party app to manage your Google Mail contacts, it may have caused conflicts or deleted your contacts.
  4. Data corruption: In rare cases, data corruption can occur, causing contacts to be lost or deleted.

To recover your Google Mail contacts, try the following steps:

  1. Check your Google Mail account: Log in to your Google Mail account and check if your contacts are still there. If they are, try syncing your account with your Windows 10 device again.
  2. Check your Windows 10 device: Open the People app on your Windows 10 device and check if your contacts are still there. If they're not, try restarting the app or checking for updates.
  3. Use Google's contact recovery tool: Google provides a contact recovery tool that can help you recover deleted contacts. Follow these steps:
    • Go to the Google Account recovery page.
    • Sign in with your Google account.
    • Click on "Recover contacts" and follow the prompts.
  4. Use a third-party contact recovery tool: There are several third-party tools available that can help you recover deleted contacts, such as EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard or Recuva.
  5. Contact Google support: If none of the above steps work, you can contact Google support for further assistance. They may be able to help you recover your contacts or provide additional guidance.

Remember to always back up your important data, including contacts, to prevent data loss in the future.
