Windows 10: I can't access any adminstrator settings or access safe mode at the least anymore. help :(

I'll start from the beginning because I feel defeated on all counts and attempts to fix my issue.


I was trying to launch origin so I could try and play a game but origin wouldn't start nor show any activity in task manager. I tried to open up event viewer to see if there are any useful error logs. This is where the downward slope begins... to my surprise I had a message "This app has been blocked for your protection". I don't see why considering it's a windows administrator tool. None the less, I couldn't access any administrator tools like the mmc or services.msc unless I started a cmd prompt as administrator and then did executed it from there. However, this was the only way I could start anything as an administrator. A little googling seemed to conclude this had something to do with smart screen but that ended in nowhere.


I decided to check my user permissions and sure enough my main user is an administrator. I experimented by removing my user from the administrator group which made it so I could open up stuff like mmc but nothing showed up since I was no longer one. At this point I couldn't open anything as an adminstrator anymore; even cmd itself. So now I just want to change my user back to an admin so I figure why not boot into safe mode and try recovering some things. I tried a restore point that was 2 days old but...now it won't boot into windows. It just says "trying automatic repair" over and over when It ry to boot and then says windows couldn't start correctly so either restart or try some of the other recovery options. I can't even access safe mode now at the least. All I can effectively do is access the recovery command prompt which I am currently using to copy my files over to a 3tb HDD before I try a windows reset (if that will even work).

I don't have a windows recovery usb which would probably work wonders right about now so I'm asking you folks if there is anything else you could recommend I should try before I copy over 1.3 TB worth of data and reset. Thank you for reading my plight.

Radeon Settings too accessible for inexperienced overclockers?

Thank you for the reply I want to try this out. Here comes another question... I am aware that F8/Shift +F8 on load-up does not bring up the safe mode option on windows 10, as I can't see my login screen how would you suggest I get into safe mode? Would I need to create a recovery on a USB? Or could I access troubleshooting through using the 390x, select safe mode on next boot. Replace Graphics card with 270x then go from there? Or could you suggest another way?

Thanks

Recover access database

Looks like you will need to rebuild the whole thing but at least you have the data still, right?
EDIT: Wait did you try this?

Convert a database to the Access 2007 file format

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...-the-access-2007-file-format-HA010048406.aspx


You cannot convert a replicated database to the Office Access 2007 file format. However, you can use Access 2007 to create a replica of a database that is formatted in either the Access 2000 or the Access 2002 - 2003 file format.


More copy and paste:
[paste:font size="5"]Convert an Access 97 database, Convert an Access 95 database, or Convert an Access 2.0 database.

• Click the Microsoft Office Button
  
  , point to Save As, and then, under Save the database in another format, click the file format to which you want to convert.

• If any database objects are open when you use the Save Database As command, Access prompts you to close them prior to creating the copy. Click Yes to make Access close the objects, or click No to cancel the entire process. If needed, Access will also prompt you to save any changes.

• In the Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click Save.

Access creates the copy of the database, and then opens the copy. Access automatically closes the original database.
