Windows 10: in the user file i can't see my account user file.

I hide my account folder by mistake and when I tried to unhide the folder in the view ribbon, I only got the default user and not my user.




:)

 

User can't copy files from network share. Permission error.

Seems security essentials wasn't liking the file for the user for some odd reason. Thanks for your suggestions.

 

User files

Hi Alan,

We'd like to know if you're able to access the temporary (Test) account. If so, you may copy and paste your files from the Test folder to your preferred folder. After moving your files, access your main account; then delete the temporary user account. Follow
the steps below to delete User Account:

• Open Control Panel > User Accounts >
  User Accounts.
• Click Manage another account, If prompted by User Account Control; select
  Yes.
• Select the user you want to delete > Hit Delete the account > Choose
  Delete Files or Keep Files.
• Choose Delete Account > Close the Control Panel.

Note: Make sure you're logged in as an administrator, before deleting the test account.

Keep us posted with the result.

 

Lost User Account

Hi Louis,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



I understand the inconvenience you are facing with user accounts, we will help you to resolve this issue.



I would like to inform that there can be only one Microsoft user account on one device, and that might be the reason you are unable to change the email address for the user account.



I suggest you to create a new account (Local account) on your computer and transfer the content to newly created user account.



Step 1: Creating a new user account

• Type cmd in the Search bar form the desktop.
• Now, Right-click on cmd.exe from the result and select Run As Administrator.
  
• User Account Control or UAC dialog box will appear, click on Yes.
  
• Type net user username password /add
  
  [Replace ‘username’ and ‘password’ with your desired username and password]
  

Step 2. Copying old files to newly created User Profile

• Go to C:\Users\(Your-Corrupted-Profile-Name)\ (L: file:///C:/Users/(Your-Corrupted-Profile-Name)/)
  
• Copy all files except three files:

• 
  NtUser.dat
  
• 
  NtUser.ini
  
• 
  NtUser.log
  

3. Go to C:\Users\(New-User-Profile-name)\ (L: file:///C:/Users/(New-User-Profile-name)/)

4. Paste all those copied files here.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
