  1. Drives disappearing as a new user?


    Hello everyone,


    So I'm having this issue as I'm making a personal user profile on the family laptop: the drives don't appear in Explorer, all system icons are missing, and I don't know what to do. Everything works fine on my father's user profile, only the other one is affected. Both profiles have Admin priviliges.

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
