Windows 10: Will System Restore overwrite a new user account?

Will System Restore overwrite a new user account that was created after the chosen restore point? I'm trying to recover some accidentally deleted files, but would rather not delete a new user account that was created after those files were deleted. Looking for a way to recover lost files from a deleted user account without losing any newly created user accounts. Thanks!

Unable to create new User account

Hi Richard,

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

• 
  Are you logged in with a Microsoft account or Local account?
  
• 
  Are you trying to create new user account using Administrator account?
  

I suggest you to run SFC scan.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files

Run the System File Checker (SFC) scan to fix any corrupted files. Follow these steps:

New Account/User Issues

Hi,

When you create a new user account, Windows uses the Default user profile as a template to construct the files for the newly created user account. You might be experiencing issues creating new accounts due to a corrupt Default profile. To
resolve the issue, we suggest reinstating the Default folder in the
Users directory by following these steps:

• Log in as an administrator.
• Open the C:\Users folder using Windows Explorer.
• Rename the Default user profile folder to Default.OLD.
• Download a zip of C:\Users\Default from a Windows 10 installation that doesn't have this problem.
  
• Unzip the non-corrupt Default profile into C:\Users.
• Try logging in to the new user account and check if the problem is resolved.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

File system error (-1073741521)

For us to make sure where does issue is coming from, we suggest that you create a new user on your computer. Make it as an administrator account. If the issue persists on the new user account, we suggest that you run a system restore by following the steps
below:

• Open the Control Panel.
• In the Search Control Panel box, type in Recovery.
• Select Recovery.
• Select Open System Restore and click on Next.
• Choose the restore point when your computer is on a good known state.

Let us know how it goes.
