How can I restore this?
If you know which one you deleted (there seems to be one for each app) you can create it a (normal, not administrator) command prompt, changing the path in red
Code:copy NUL "C:\Users\Hali\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings\roaming.lock"
Tried it, says "system cannot find path specified"!
What path did you try?
If you think roaming.lock is missing you should know where it is missing from. The one above was for the calculator app.
I tried deleting them as a test in various apps and they still worked but then I don't use roaming profile.
Are you getting an error or anything?
roaming.lock is now missing from here > %USERPROFILE%/AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
and so is settings.dat
I don't have either file in that directory (clean install of 15063 version) - just this stuff:What error are you getting?Code:C:\Windows\system32>dir /a %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets Volume in drive C is MacBook Volume Serial Number is 56FB-28EE Directory of C:\Users\Hali\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets 07/20/2017 05:02 PM <DIR> . 07/20/2017 05:02 PM <DIR> .. 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 1,086,711 09b20531e843a900e9a1a99d7e9cd4bbe26a62c2caa97b24ad29c919aea71fef 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 792,820 107edd57d1f5f5576c7a2887c28b346441696aa8949a78e2b0bdc1b881191cb4 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 596,839 1da5b3ec0707a83fd22e358450a2619e5117a0901ef4b2e5ef767fedc7319f8d 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 702,583 21a364869b74f4ba0369648ea7e8067c65a250f7ef31f0bb43fcaf1ddef0d6a2 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 1,323,598 2968b5b25a9877f87c295bd15cbf5766f13bb19c4d42fe1faa8fb03e1dc9012e 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 426 38f6d02eaee3869eb1e45566be0a4f935bad9fe5d3e857b02ffc33895ef4b628 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 2,185 43399e8cfdc9ac47fc0bf385b3669ecf51181c3785d40e4dbcdd127b6c51a798 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 45,341 4669e71e5bfc2d5cf985857f401ed78bb63e1f2776d6ed19a50cba244e18cac9 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 1,360,069 4ccba1293dcaefb3fd7ef1c5f345aaaf3070312f8f814a30b083c31f94c3883a 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 2,876 546065bd5d771c2346afba143a9740e35f3568105836a67c32e2e7e2cfbc2a77 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 1,108,446 55e9ba1524be8d15f187c91de1cde122f828007e764a5857c5f36e1daf35251f 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 8,951 5a188031a7bfa7c5821c586deb4964ef18f7cc61408901da7556ef6642c1fc66 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 3,834 72e6e277dbeec08af46d0b4876cd93f468367b621c4814f60d23aebe7744f8d7 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 359 77e80076fad4043a93129694b2a05f543574ba0545a274e9bf51206d369586c9 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 16,406 7f10d050031c766d0dbf21be17cf8b277fbc0f1f3c1a119e89e90c71435b361c 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 802,910 8c44409a05c8018576f077f628f8a8974d6f3e28501806a6f45c3e583cba6b5a 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 359,754 8ddbfcd058c8d5d4c0864aa2764bc1acd0280e0b35a7d2c241660d583bc7cc9a 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 739,960 9b373ed1ec491980407cd6b4bd95ff18a5959022a9dcd4b29e4d4ae4ac22cd90 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 22,984 a0b78a7ad73585e1b02a8209c5865df2e8005110f47de470f0848d181badc2c1 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 817,880 af64fbd070ca8bb9b22ea4c7bb634a33ba7f6b76a7202b8d7a76b186c84557c7 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 1,221,286 afa26e09aefd172d53133bf11fcb3e2cc28cc7c4fcae586d52813b378ffb54ed 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 11,719 b15d7bbc655732555ba0bb4c5abb74aab978b4d45c2114f4f6748910176f03be 07/12/2017 06:45 PM 1,082,094 b5f7d7a8aa2c685d566baad80082948d4c4ba42df6ff904bb475dbe17f40f837 07/13/2017 05:01 PM 2,018 bc1b386456ccedc8029be0b72c538c2cffe44c117c1cda33e71a54ca8eb0fd47 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 697,449 c13032c1349b2b3a69b87b9d24dc652a3df5e52c63ffe03bd9a785e5ebbcd792 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 508 c3962dd1c4b4f3917ffab15400542328547055efa4ca0b76619086e03b962a28 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 833,485 c55a47aa09a9a4b758ee6eb7450ffc0eabeccca924c1baf1a23787d538766c85 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 26,153 c69e287ad304ff9adf8f6ea2a8d081f4fc18028908cef42f32726bbb7f84bc3d 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 724,345 cf391d1d5bd5d10401e49e944bae43cbf982dc8783a437672679ab93eae04a83 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 16,545 d027c5cef9dc76de02d35ff5ba3b53e776c0c260af04c923ad7204ea18aeb0b8 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 14,778 f7a2a0843b6623510b27efe6d2200054b0286c08c0dc209e4b608995ad4019bc 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 761,087 fca795109998defcf21095584b09fb47dd8859d38aafc05bc2eb2867c09f8afe 04/02/2017 07:44 AM 36,335 fce39732692a27ff47273b76d7077d63e36071a16c7b78d6e2e4c90e2446f15c 07/20/2017 06:20 AM 387,307 ff80a0b2a53d8f2856eb845fdee29111701f1872ebca8b9d30c469d9d18ca3fb 34 File(s) 15,610,041 bytes 2 Dir(s) 21,585,989,632 bytes free C:\Windows\system32>
I have 1703 "Creator's" version update
Windows Spotlight is now non-functional and "Remote Desktop Services Reset Utility" doesn't start when I click on it (am admin.), dunno if it needs Edge, but I will not use Edge
Press the Windows key+X choose Command Prompt (Admin) here type SFC /scannow and press enter, this will replace any missing system files.
Also check this thread out: Windows Spotlight/Lock screen - Windows 10 Forums
Solved by changing the problem:
Gave up on ineffective "delicate" non-functioning Spotlight and instead simply (and safely) downloaded free Dynamic Theme app. Have set "daily Bing image as dynamic tile of application" for Lockscreen
Works, and when it would provide a pic I dislike, have now several good, quick and easy options, including using for Lockscreen that day a specific Windows picture I happen to really like
