  1. Corrupted Appdata folder?


    A couple of days back I had decided to uncheck the "hidden box" for the appdata folder within my user folder, applying the attribute to files also. I have done this before on previous computers however when restarting my laptop after outlook wasn't loading up, the majority of my apps aren't loading up discord, outlook, onedrive, battle.net, skype, and chrome requires me to log in after every restart each error is located within the appdata folder, I have also rehidden the folder and files, however, there is no difference. Any ideas on how to help?


    Thank you.

    :)
