Hi, I was editing my auras and my pc started a random windows update and hence, everything were forced to shut down instantly. When I relogged in to my WoW account all of my weakauras were gone, it's complete black pitch darkness. Are they gone forever?

There isn't mcuh hope, I'll copy and paste our standard response to that:
If you login and your WeakAura's are missing, go to the World of Warcraft_retail_\WTF\Account<ACCOUNTNAME>\SavedVariables folder and check the WeakAuras.lua file. If it is empty, check the WeakAuras.lua.bak file. If that one has content, delete WeakAuras.lua and rename WeakAuras.lua.bak to WeakAuras.lua. If WeakAuras.lua.bak was also empty, you will need to to rely on backups or remake your Auras.
*Window's hides file extensions by default so you will need to turn these on which you can do by going to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalistion > File Explorer Options > View tab in the new window and untick Hide extensions for known file types
If you have not made backups or don't use the WA Companion (it makes backups for you) then as a last resort you can try putting the following in to chat in game:
/run local L=WeakAuras.LoadFromArchive local h,m=L("Repository","history"),L("Repository","migration")for _,r in ipairs{h,m}do for _,s in pairs(r.stores)do local d=s:Load()WeakAurasSaved.displays[d.id]=d end end C_UI.Reload()
