    Cannot use decrypted files after reinstalling windows 10?


    i'm using windows 10. after reinstalling new windows, my old file has been encrypted. I cannot open or coppy them. it says that only old account in windows before reinstalling can access these file. What do I have to do to use these files normally?

    How to Decrypt *.cerber3 files?

    AFAIK it's still not possible to decrypt your files for free...

    In addition to what has been mentioned in the prior posts, you might want to read this:

    And I strongly suggest to read/do:

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Cannot use decrypted files after reinstalling windows 10?

    Decrypting files after reinstalling windows 10.

    I encrypted a lot of files some time ago. It became necessary for me to reinstall Windows 10. The "user" that encrypted the files disappeared after the reinstall and, after creating another login, I can't decrypt my files.

    I go to the Properties of any of these files & click the "General" tab.

    Next I click the "Advanced" tab.

    When I deselect the box beside "Encrypt contents to secure data" and then click "OK" and "Apply" I, of course, get an error message saying the file can't be decrypted.

    If I click on the "Details" button in the "Advanced Attributes" window I get the following:

    User Certificate thumbprint



    Richard(Richard@ACME-AUTODESTRUC) 5755 4610 B082 5B2F C43C 01CB B7A7 41AE DCCF 5DB0

    How do I recover this user account after having reinstalled Windows 10? If I can sign on as this "user" I should be able to decrypt the files. Or can the "Certificate thumbprint" be used to gain access?
