    Computer will not access any system recovery options

    Cannot access anything. No system tools or anything. Gives error message upon trying to get into troubleshooting. File explorer shows NOTHING in drive C:, no ownership, no size nothing. Can't reset or system restore.

    The buttons in the settings for backup/recovery won't work. Can't get into disk management. Keeps saying Windows cannot access drive C:....

    Unable to access C:drive - User accounts deleted - Windows 10

    update

    - I can't re-add the users by right clicking the C drive and going in that way

    - I can't run cmd as admin I get the following error 'Windows cannot access C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe'

    - I can run cmd normally

    Can't check C Drive for Errors-Windows can't access disk?

    If it cant access its not good best bet is go to makers site they normally have a free bootable test program to test the disk specific to their disk

    Restart the PC and try again.

    If you still have problems, we need more details. Exactly how are you trying to check the C drive? From a command prompt? From File Explorer? Are you using chkdsk or something else? What's the wording of the error message?

    Is that by a right-click on C, Properties, Tools tab, 'Check' button? What was the wording of the error message? Have you tried the restart yet?
