Problem when I upgraded to Windows mobile 10
I have a Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE. When I switched from windows mobile 8.1 to windows mobile 10 all my contacts were deleted and I can't save any new contacts. When I try to save them I press the icon save (floopy disc) and a new windows appears and suddenly goes away.

Make sure you're signed into your "Live" account (Hotmail, Outlook.com, etc) properly, and that you can send/receive email on it.
Your contacts and other phone data are persisted, in the cloud, on Windows Phones, almost exclusively.

I had signed into a Live account (Hotmail), already. But what I did was delete the account and sign back in and problem solved. Thanks very much.

Yep, glad you got it all straightened out! The "Live" Microsoft integration is cool stuff; a lot of people don't realize how handy/well this is implemented. Added tags to make it easier for others to find the solution.
