My computer reboots like wipes all my stuff downloads nd everything when it dies and is not plugged

[Hx_]

It does this when it dies and is not plugged up within an hour, it shut down, and when the battery comes out it's done it 10 times since late July

Without understanding what you are asking and the problem you are describing, I would guess the battery in your computer has failed.

Unknown problem ...

HP Diagnostics - HP Support Diagnostic Tools - HP Laptop Computers & Printers

HP Diagnostics – HP Support Diagnostics Tools - Computing

OR

If the battery is the cause of the problem, the battery must be replaced.

If you think the battery is in trouble, you can test it.

In fact, you can test a number of the components in the computer.

I don't think it's a battery problem my computer reboots and deletes everything I have my files and stuff. But some apps stay on I just have to set them up again. I remember my battery came out and it rebooted it does it when it's powered off too. Also when it dies and isn't plugged up in a certain amount of time but I will try to find a battery.

You could be losing a disk, I guess.

This does not usually happen over months - and there are generally warning signs (large error messages that prevent the system from booting and / or running).

By now you are an expert at backing up your data so you don't lose it.  Keep those current.  

Consider testing whatever components you can test.

Hardware (beyond simple battery replacement) is not my particular specialty but we do have Experts who are well versed on the subject should it be necessary that you do replace your system disk.

What else?

It could be a  Windows based problem...

For example, if you managed to migrate the system to Windows 2004 and that is when everything started "going sideways", you are not alone.  There are lots of people who have migrated easily and are happy - there are others who have had to backtrack to V1909 just to stop the problems that kept erupting.

Updating your laptop to Windows 10 v2004 -- May 2020 Update

Another of our respected Experts has assured me that age of the computer has naught to do with success.   True, that.  Given that what I know about the subject fits into a thimble, I would say that if the system migrated and you are Not having odd driver and software problems, then all should continue to be well with 2004 running on your computer.

That said, if all of this did start happening to you after migrating to Windows 2004, you might want to consider going back to V1909 - at least for a while.  Personal choice.  I cannot advice on migration questions.

You may be right I've had something pop up on my computer about disk storage for maybe 2 years now. Now I don't have it all. So how would I get it back?
