Alrighty then,
-
Or can't I just reinstall the OS instead of completely wiping it?
-
Then what do I do? The OS is corrupted, can't keep going on the same corrupted OS now can I?
-
Well, I guess I could wipe the OS, then make a temporary user, add my old one, then make my old user an Administrator. Is that a good idea? or should I not do that?
-
I have a back up on USB and one back up on a cloud server, these back ups only include the user I had before the OS corrupted.
-
Windows 10, I know how to reinstall it (while I'm basically wiping the OS and reinstalling it), I don't know how to re add the user information after that. I have it double backed up, do I make a temporary user first? Or is there a way to re add my old user during the set up?
-
I talked to support, they said that the OS is corrupted, and that I need to reinstall it, thanks for your help though, doing that before I contacted support really helped knock a few things off the list to see what the issue was.

This is what I see, and it does sound like my problem, but i dont see the .bak profile.

Update: I actually realized that I had navigated to the wrong area, I found the folders listed in the link, I'll let you know if that link helped me.

Here's what happen when I log on.
I am greeted by my usual lock screen, along with the correct user, I can use my regular password, and it logs in normally. Until after the log in loading circle changes from "Logging in" to "Preparing Windows". It may take anywhere from a minute to several minutes for that process to complete.
When I get to my desktop though, I am no longer on my regular user, it switched me to a temporary user. And a popup (from Windows) appears and says that I am currently unable to sign in on the account i requested and that I was provided with a temporary user until I sign in to my regular user.
For example, my regular user is named "CkDestop", and the temporary user is named "TEMP"
I am then given two options, I can sign out and return to the lock screen and either log back in (which just repeats what happens) or select a different user. Or I can dismiss the popup and continue in the "TEMP" user.
So far I have been able to re connect my Microsoft account, but when I go to change to a new user the option does not appear. I know to go to the start menu and click on my profile picture or name, but the only options that appear are sign out, shutdown, and account settings. If I go to the lock screen, the option to switch users isn't present.
Note that I can also go into the Users folder and view the con tents of each user, my regular user is still there with all of its files.

I'll keep this brief while providing as many details as i can, I work soon.
So today I thought that I would start up my computer before work, and I was greeted by my normal desktop, but gmod launched and promptly crashed my computer. I received a message on screen after I restarted my computer from Dell anjd Alienware support (my support hardware) that the OI/disk could have been damaged and it needed repairs. And that it did, the support hardware went to work on restoring and recovering data and reparing the OI/disk (i think thats what it was called, the screen only showed up for a few seconds before it switched to a different support screen and began restoring the computer). But when it finished and I started my computer back up, I was not able to log into the account on my computer (I'm using a temporary one now). There are a few of my games and random files still accessable to me now, but everything else is missing. I cant call support yet, I work in 10 minutes. But in the meantime, since I can stay updated on my phone, can any of you tech savy members of GFL give me a general idea of what happened so I can go to Alienware/Dell support with as much info as possible. I know this isnt much but I can provide more information if needed, i just dont know what else to put.
Side note; I ran a quick scan with my Norton anti-virus software, it found nothing, so I can now doing a full system scan. I'll be back at 11:00 PM central time to reply to comments left on this thread.
Update:
All of my files were recovered, virtually lost nothing (But a few pictures). But now can't sign in to my user on this computer, basically I get a message saying that I am unable to sign in (I have internet on), so now I can only use a temporary account where any changes aren't saved. I can't switch my user normally, going to the start menu and clicking my name/profile picture does not show a option to switch users, neither does going to the lock screen. Yet I can go to ThisPC - OC: - Users - And see my other users (I have two).

All I can say is that @SenLynx, you need to relax your trigger fingers. I've seen you play enough that I know that these bans were because of a honest fall in karma, not from RDMing. But once your karma gets to 850-900, you need to really chill out on following KOS's because these exceptions are not going to be handed out every single time you get karma banned. I think that you need a lesson to be taught here, if Violator quit unbanning you would we stop seeing these types of appeals from you?

At 3 in the morning I woke up to the sound of my Easy Button being pressed. I was the only person in the room.

This seems to be a reoccurring theme with you. Currently you have 20 bans on record, 17 of which are because of low karma. Seeing how you play on TTT, you are careless. Don't you believe that once your karma drops below 800-900 that you should relax your trigger happy fingers?
Here's some things I have problems with about you.
1) Throwing discoms into the nether to see if it's trapped is not a good way to see if its trapped, most of the time you end up killing people, yet you still do it.
2) You warn for traps after you activate them, and blame your T buddies for walking into them, and lie in reports about these incidents. Not saying you do this every time, but it happens far too often for it to be your T buddy's fault.
Personally I don't think you should be unbanned.

I'd say my theme song has a... perfecting technique.
-
If you can explain why you blatantly stabbed two innocents when you were an innocent then alright, I'll remove the ban. Looking through the logs showed that they did nothing in my opinion. Seems odd that you even could get two knives in the first place as a innocent.

I've unbanned you buddy. Play well.

Perhaps I missed some details when viewing the situation in spectator mode, I say the ban should be removed since you are a member and I trust this was just a miscommunication on my part, or that I miss read the responses on the two reports.

Your responses were not well composed, you didn't completely explain your side of the stories. In one of three reports you lied stating the player that reported you (because you killed him) killed two innos when he only killed one traitor.
In the other two reports you stated you tried throwing a discombobulator into the T room (which you claimed bounced off someone when they accidently walked in front of you and ended up killing two people) but you were no where near the T room when you threw it. You didn't even throw the discom towards the t room.
If you are willing to completely explain what happened when you threw the discombob I'm listening.

Stay classy, phart.

Well just some other things about me because I have a lot of cool things about myself.
I travel a lot, primarily to Mexico and Europe and the USA.
I have a fascination with early to mid 20th century tanks. (WWI and WWII, some Cold War era tanks)
The person in my profile picture is me.
I have a 1:9 scale, red 2x4 lego brick in my room.
I am a Warrant Officer Second Class in my Air Cadet Squadron.
Regulars on the MC 24/7 TTT server will know that I come from the land of Igloos and Maple Syrup. Canada. But anyone who doesn't come on that server wouldn't know, unless you noticed my spelling of; Honour, Valour, Colour, etc.
I once cut my arm open on a perfectly fine sink while washing dishes.

Lol, on my new computer I got a 1080 founders edition instead of the 970.

I am double jointed in my arms, and I'm left handed.

But still the steam apps would still need to be reinstalled, correct?
Or I can just back them up.
