    Hello, maybe resetting the libraries will help. Open "Computer", find Libraries in the list, then right-click and the option "Restore default libraries".

    What is this system? Is it recovering the data folder or just recreating the folder itself? If you want to recover data, you need to reset the computer from your finger so that it will not save anything on the disk, download it to another PC and record the live system on a CD / pendrive and work from the live system. Besides, if the data is not important, it should be restored by itself, or possibly a system restore should be applied and seen (not to be confused with system refresh or factory reset).

    In the folder options, disable hiding system files.
    The folder you are looking for should be in the location:
    C: \ Users \ "username" \ Documents

    Run the registry editor, go to the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Shell Folders
    In the entry named "Personal" there is a path to the documents folder. Go to the indicated folder and if it is not there, create it.

    Do you have this key in the registry? If so, give a screenshot of this key. To display this key, click Start, then type in search programs and regedit files. Once you find this program, you run it and look for that key.

    Wrong. "My documents" is because it is a so-called symbolic link. You are to create a folder called "Documents".

    Right-click on Personal then Modify Binary Data and post a screen of the window that appears.

    EDIT
    If I reset the system to factory settings, my documents would come back. I have the system on the ssd disk and for files I have two separate disks.
    Something would have happened to your data if you reset the system to factory settings.

    You did it?

    You have windows 7, so restoring factory settings deletes data and programs, sometimes only from the system partition and sometimes from the entire disk - it depends on how the manufacturer predicted (if it's a factory recovery, and I don't know because you haven't written anything about the hardware).
