    Can’t access files


    I was having an issue trying to update my printer as no setup file could be found.
    I tried to manually search for them and stupidly i opened up properties on one of the folders and checked or unchecked in attributes under Users Properties
    Now Firefox won’t open and all my desktop files have vanished along with my videos n pictures etc
    I’ve tried to tick u tuck the Read-only and Hidden boxes but nothing is working.
    I tried a system restore but that’s not helped either.
    The files are stlll there I just can’t see or access them.
    Having to send this from my phone.
    Hopefully it’s something simple I can do to view as normal please.

    Windows 11

    Regards
