HELP!! All my actions have vanished!!!

[Nat_OD]

Hi - i walked away from my pc for a few hours to return to find that all my actions have vanished .. please tell me there is a way to restore to a time they were all there .. like this morn or yesterday? 

I had created so many myself over the years  to save time .. and i really don't want to have to load everything in all over again as its really going to mess with my editing flow 

Or - Would the ones i had created be saved somewhere to just reload like the ones i had purchased ? 

Many thanks 

Devastated Natalie :(

Hi @Nat_OD, this is something that happens to everyone from time to time.  You might find that all your other Photoshop settings have returned to their defaults as well.  There's no clear reason why it does this.

Can you do this for me?

Are you there, @Nat_OD?

Have you tried rebooting your computer? Let's start there first.

Sorry guys .. been out enjoying this lovely Sunday with the fam .. So .. i got it sorted .. PS CC was attempting to update but failed .. so when i was launching my PS pinned icon it was opening an older version of PS with out me realising .. which none of my actions were installed into .. I have since relaunched the CC updater and all is well in the world .. !!!!! .. Also .. side note .. i have a few of my most used actions set to some function keys .. Since the update the action i used for the  F9 shortcut has been deleted .. which i have discovered is because  F9 now hides your action panel .. So i had to remake that action with another F key .. Appreciate you guys getting back to me - Cheers Nat

Now is the time to think of backing up your Actions, just in case.
