Windows 10: Windows 10 Raoming profile in App data not being copied

I recently upgraded the school network to Windows 10 and realize that accounts to keep settings. I checked the Appdata roaming profile and there is only 1 folder in there. Microsoft. Outlook is not even there. might explain why users keep losing their shared calenders/mailboxes right? is there anyway of overcoming this? It seems to be an issue with other things too, Keyboard settings UK keeps reverting to US, Chrome Bookmarks disappear, Start Menus dont load as they should etc.


Any help would be appreciated.

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 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.

 

How to copy administrator user account

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the below steps to copy the user date and check if it helps.

Note: I suggest to create a new user profile and transfer user data to new account and delete or change the corrupt user profile.

Copy User Data: Follow the below steps to copy files to the new user profile

• Log on as a user other than the user whose profile you are copying files to or from.
• In Windows Explorer, click View, and Check mark hidden files and folders, uncheck the
  Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click
  OK.
• Locate the C:\Users\Old Username folder, where
  C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and Old Username is the name of the profile you want to copy user data from.
• Press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:
  

• 
  Ntuser.dat
  
• 
  Ntuser.dat.log
  
• 
  Ntuser.ini
  

• On the Edit menu, click
  Copy.
• Locate the C:\Users\New Username folder, where
  C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and New Username is the name of the user profile that you created in the "Create a New User Profile" section.
• On the Edit menu, click
  Paste.
• Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user.

Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.
