Tweaking.com Support & Help / cannot access my user account in windows 10 after running windows-repair
« on: January 05, 2021, 12:46:09 am »
hi,
i had accidentally messed up the security permissions of the c:\windows\temp folder. so i was unable to install some programs. to rectify this, i used windows-repair v4.10.2 by tweaking.com to reset all the permissions of my OS drive. it worked well, but after that i am unable to login to my standard user account. only my other (administrator) account is accessible. i found that the user folder in c:/users/<username> is intact. but windows wont recognize it. i copied that folder to my external HDD, then created a new account under the same name, then copied back the folder, but it did not work. instead windows 10 creates a new folder named in the format <username>.<computername> although i specified only the required <username> when creating the account. how can i use the old data to recover my old user-account without going for an inplace installation?
any native or 3rd-party solution which is FREE is fine.
my OS is genuine windows 10 20h1 single language x64 without any modifications.
many thanks in advance
PS. this is a bit urgent.
