  1. Can't Access User Profile Folders From Command Line


    I cannot see the user profile folders within X:\Users (aka C:\Users) when booted into the command line. I have tried the various flags like /a, which I have used to successfully navigate to and view other hidden files.

    My intention is to relocate the roaming folder and to use a symlink to point windows to a different drive, as my SSD is rather small. I can't do this while logged in as windows is using some of the files.

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Can't Access User Profile Folders From Command Line :)

  4. Can't Access User Profile Folders From Command Line

    User Profiles not uploading at Start

    Hi Ernie,

    Your computer might have experience a fresh start when the upgrade occurred last December 16, 2017, and the user profiles on it got affected as well. However, let us not jump into any conclusions yet until we isolated your concern. Let's see if we'll be
    able to recover the missing user profile using a command line in command prompt.

    • Open CMD as Administrator.
    • Enter this command "net localgroup “Administrators” [Computer Name][Missing User] /add".
    • Once done, restart your computer.

    You may also check if you'll see the missing user profile/s in Local User and Groups manager. Here are the steps on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows + R on your keyboard, then type in lusrmgr.msc.
    • Click on Users, then check if the missing user profile is on the right pane.

    Let us know if the above steps worked.
