Lost files after update

Hi Rakshith, my AVG needed updating as it was in red, so I pressed update and that's when my problems started. I now have a new smartscan, but no files to scan, the folders in docs, photo, downloads, videos etc are empty.
Drive C still shows 458Gb used, so the files are still here.
My apps and Microsoft store do not work.
Many thanks
