    Can't access anything on my computer after Microsoft update


    It appears Windows 10 updated. However, I cannot get into my profile to access ANYTHING on my computer. It simply shows a Windows desktop with apps. Does anyone know if opening a new local user account will give me back access to everything on my computer? Has this happened to anyone else? I had this happen about 2 weeks ago and a very good Microsoft rep in Nigeria said my profile had been hacked and fixed everything in less than 60 seconds after using Quick Assist. Today, the new version of Quick Assist was not working and the rep could not assist and would not let me talk to anyone.

    One computer cannot access other network computers.


    So I've tried every troubleshooting step I know:
    • Double checked that Net Bios was enabled
    • Ran a bunch of network commands:
      • flushed DNS
      • registered dns
      • pinged and located the named computers successfully
    • Reset my router to factory settings

    Nothing works when I try to access via explorer. I'm still baffled by the fact that every other computer can access each other AND access this computer. It's just the outgoing connection from this machine that doesn't work.

    Any thoughts?
