Windows 10: Logged in, but personal settings are gone and can't access files.

Okay this is a weird one, and I'm not totally sure how to explain it. Today when I turned on my computer, all my personal settings were gone - color scheme, desktop background, taskbar apps etc. Icons look old. Pictures on computer are gone, but still viewable through one drive. When I first turned on my computer, I got a "preparing Windows" cue, which I haven't seen before. I got an error code after I logged in I didn't save it that told me my account was offline and not syncing? and accessing and updating any files on my computer would result in data lost. It told me to sign out and back

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

 

New TechPowerUp Forums, Early Access

So far I like it with just a few issues, and they are minor.

• The name of the person who created the thread and the date is really lite and hard to read for me.
• When you are logged in the thread titles are in bold and look great, but when you are logged out they are normal, and very hard to read. We have a lot of users that come, and do not login. So, I suggest changing it to where everything is bold if you are not logged in.
