Three times my actions have disappeared from Photoshop. I had them in alpha order (which took me a long time) and again they're gone, and it takes me a long time to reload them. Is this when Photoshop updates??

That sounds like something is resetting your Photoshop preferences or you have a permission problem. When You install a new version of Photoshop you need to migrate your previous Photoshop's version preferences into your new Photoshop versions preferences. However, installing an update to a Photoshop version should not change your Photoshop Preferences. If your Photoshop Preferences file "Actions Palette.psp" is being resest to Adobe Defaults. You need to make sure you user ID has permission to write into your Photoshop Preferences folder so your Actions can be saved into "Actions Palette.psp" and if you do you need to find out what is resetting "Actions Palette.psp" to Adobe default version. You should also save action set you add or change into "ActionSetName.atn" files so you can load your Actions should you preferences get reset to Adobe default settings.

I would report this behaviour as bug, it's very inconvinient. For example my worksapce doesn't reset with another updates, so I don't understand why Actions do? Photoshop Family
