Sysprep issues. Account disappeared, directory and SID still there
Hello folks (Windows 10 Version 22H2 Build 19045.4170)
Dealing with an issue here. I used sysprep to migrate a windows 10 installation to new motherboard and CPU. I used it multiple times on the same installation because it didn't work the first time.
Fast forward, I finally get windows to boot with the new hardware but my original user account disappeared. Everything seems gone but when I took a peek at C:/Users/velloria , all of my files are still there. Seems the account is still there but I'm unable to access it .
When I type in "net user" in command prompt is doesn't list the account. When I look up the SID in the registry, its there.
All of this leads me to believe my account still exists but somehow I can't get to it.
Anyone have any idea how I can bring my old user account back? I'm running out of ideas.
Does the computer name itself have anything to do with it? (like it used to be //Oldname but the new computer is now //DESKTOP-8K0TUA as seen in the screencap)
Thanks!
