Are you sure you made a new backup image, or accidentally restored an older image? You should not lose anything from creating an image. I have no idea what went wrong.

A Windows image backup is actually stored in one main file, not separate individual files. You should be able to use the Windows Backup and Restore program to restore everything or only a select file(s). howtogeek.com howtogeek.com B.K.

Schnullie, It is very rare that a file will simply disappear. First, I am not familiar with Windows 10, so this may not apply. If you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) there is, or was, a search box at the top right of Windows explorer. Try typing part of the spreadsheet name into the search box and see if Windows Explorer can find the file in a folder other than your desktop. Also Excel (at least the older versions) had a option on the Open menu for recent files. You might find your spreadsheet file there. NOTE: Some Windows utilities will delete the recent file lists - this is for security reasons. B.K.
