    Why can’t I copy my profile. It’s grayed out.


    I had an issue yesterday and I got a Microsoft person to help me. We made a new Microsoft profile and the problem was fixed, the only thing to do was to copy the old profile and overwrite the new one. Thats where I found the problem, when I go to copy my profile the button is grayed out :. I don’t know what to do.

    :)

    Thanks for your informative post!

    I had solved my 2D & gray screen issue using advice posted by erocker (see below)
    Mainly it involves creating a profile and putting higher 2D clocks:

    Why can’t I copy my profile. It’s grayed out.

    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 Why can’t I copy my profile. It’s grayed out. :) 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.
