Windows 10: Have I just lost my only administrator profile?

Hello, so, I just admittedly very foolishly followed directions that told me, that you could change your profile name with the "control userpasswords2" command. Of course, it did, but I felt the need to change the user name essentially the folder name and now I can't open settings or use the search button. I'm quite afraid to switch off my pc or log out of my profile in fear of the profile deleting itself or the data I have on it being lost. Any advice would be helpful, please ask if you need any more information.

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

 

Lost all Administrator permission

Hello,

I have lost all my administrator permission. I have two profiles but both profiles are standard. I have tried every option that were listed on existing forums. Every option leads me to a pop-up screen stating I have no permission. Are there any other recommendations?
