Messed Up Using "Take Ownership", Now Profile Settings Won't Load
Windows 10 Version 21H1
Hello,
I have "Take Ownership" in my right click menu (explained here) and was having an issue with a program that had originated on another profile and had the bright idea to right click and take ownership of the entire D:\Users\Beau\AppData folder. It's possible I actually did the entire "Beau" directory and not AppData, but I'm not 100% certain.
Well, I realized after a bit (it was obviously taking a long time) that this was probably not the answer to the problem with the program and restarted to continue troubleshooting the software. When I tried to log back in to my profile, I got a message that there was a problem with my profile (I didn't keep track of the exact message and now it won't pop back up) and all of my settings were gone. I seemed to still be on my profile, but every setting in every program I've ever set is gone.
I realize this is a mess and a pain, but I am desperate to get things restored. Any advice would be appreciated.
