    How would I allow a separate user access to all files on my pc.


    I have a main account and I just added a new account. When I log into the new account everything on the desktop disappears and my files aren't there. Any way to change this?

    Stored profile will not allow my user account to access some files


    This is a new laptop Toshiba Satellite L55t with Windows 10. I have had several instances where access to a file is blocked because of a stored profile. My user account is administrator and it should allow access to any file. I found the stored profile but I can't find any way to change it so I can access all files on my laptop. Do you have any suggestions that will help me solve the problem. Thank you

    Can't access my home user account on Windows 10.

    File Explorer may have encountered an issue due system conflict. To correct this, follow the steps below:

    • On the Search bar, type in quick access and press Enter.
    • Select File Explorer Options.
    • On the General tab, make sure to set Open File Explorer to
      This PC.
    • Under Privacy, remove the check mark on Show recently used files in Quick access
      and Show frequently used folders in Quick access.
    • Click Apply and OK.
    We also suggest that you follow these steps on how to Enable Built-in Administrator
    to access your files and perform the troubleshooting steps given by
    Pavan_N     and BulldogXX. Follow the steps below to Enable Built-in Administrator:

    The built-in elevated "Administrator account" is a local account that has full unrestricted access rights to the PC.

    • Right click on the Windows icon, select Command Prompt.
    • A Command Prompt window will open.
    • Type in or copy and paste this command:
      • net user administrator /active:yes
    • Press Enter. Close the Command Prompt.
    • Sign out with your current account and try to sign in using Administrator.

    Let us know if these troubleshooting steps worked.
