Partial control out of my own account? Weird system behaviour.
So, the problem is weird, at least in my eyes...
The story so far:
- I needed to restore a deleted file from my W10 PC.
- In order not to have anything written over it and lose it permanently I shut down the PC and decided to plug my SSD C drive in an external HDD docking station, connect it to my W10 laptop and run ZAR (Zero Assumption Recovery).
- I managed to get my files back, but when I reattached the SSD back to my system, I started having lots of weird things...
The symptoms so far:
- When booting the system, some programs that I've set to boot on system startup, don't boot.
- When I click on Start, nothing happens. The button just doesn't respond.
- When inside the Appdata/Roaming folder, when I try to get inside any of these folders, the message I get is that "You don't currently have permission to access this folder".
- When in my user's (**Yes, I am admin**) desktop I don't have permission to access the folders in my desktop. I edited the rights on one of these folders and I have full control and on this desktop folder everything is ok, but doing it for all the folders through the entire system would take forever.
What I have tried:
- chkdsk which run on system startup (didn't give me any feedback whether it fixed anything or not)
- sfc /scannow (No errors)
- I took ownership of my user's account, nothing changed.
- With my account, I cannot create a new account, so I tried a different user account that existed on my system, that one works just fine. No issues. So it seems like my account is problematic.
My version:
I feel like the system doesn't recognise my account as it was before unplugging my drive and plugging it to another system. Like something has changed on my account.
(I know I should have used Read-only mode, but I didn't)
It doesn't seem like a terrible error happening, only that I'm somehow shut out of my own system.
There should be a way to fix it, not to go down the formatting road that will take me 2 days to set everything from scratch...
Any help would greatly be appreciated...
Thanks!
