  1. After an update my login account to my computer has been reduced to the most basic permissions


    My windows 10 updated my computer without my permission last time i logged in. I've now attempted to log in and the windows session has been reduced to the most basic level. Lower than even safe mode. I have no access to the start menu, no access to any programs... The only thing i can open is the task manager. It displays that absolutely nothing is running. When i try to run a new basic program such as Explorer, it kicks out and states "an attempt was made to reference token that does not exist


    Additionally, every time i reboot the computer it keeps trying to update again.


    Any help would be appreciated.


    I have tried running sfc /scannow through the powershell to no effect.

    :)
