All Files/Folders/Apps missing after Windows 10 Update
Hello all,
So last night, I installed a new Samsung EVO 860 500GB SSD and backed up my pre-update version of Win10 to it. I proceeded to delete some applications on my 128GB SSD where my Win10 OS calls its home to allow for the big 9gb Win10 update (I think it was the Fall Creators Update?)
Long story short, log in this morning and I didn't get any "We could not log you in warnings, so we're putting you into a temp account" notifications. I have troubleshot as much as I can and I am hoping to find a simpler solution than doing a full restore off the backup I created with AOEMI Backupper. My end goal was to transfer my OS completely to the new 500gb SSD and use the 128 for gaming/video editing but this update has paused that swap.
One thing I noticed is ALL of my settings/applications, etc ARE still there, they are just under an older User profile.
When I click This PC>OS SSD>Users I can see my old profile MainSSD, and then I get another one that was created by the Win10 update called MainSSD.MainSSD-PC. The one with the PC suffix is what I keep getting logged into by Win10 whenever I restart, so of course, it is barebones, similar to a fresh install of windows on brand new computer. Where as when I click into the MainSSD folder, I can see all of my files, etc.
What can I do to ensure Windows logs me into that user profile every time as I want to get rid of this temporary profile as it has nothing of importance. All of my video editing settings for example are housed in the MainSSD profile and it is truly a pain to go back and change all export/import/codec's etc.
Really hoping to get some insight.
Also note, I tried using Windows System Restore, but it literally has no System Restore points from yesterday at all, even though I have the MainSSD drive set up to backup every night at 3am, there is nothing even available for me to use.
Thank you,
Prog
