    I would offer that if anything is unacceptable it would be your manner of phrasing and could leave you open to receiving no help whatsoever.

    Have you tried going back to a system restore point to before you messed with the registry?

    Have you made any Recovery Disks?

    I deleted all my restore points just to clear up space and that wouldn't have done me any good anyways because I have also been having some issues with my user account I had to go in and create a new user account under a fake name with moving all of my stuff to it and then deleting the folder with my name and then re-creating a new user account with my name and then do the same thing as before I created the fake one what ese should I do I also even posted to the Microsoft community forums to see if I could get help there

    I have them for my computer specifically, but I do not want to lose all of my stuff as I don't have enough room to store it somewhere else and plus it takes over an hour and a half to re-do the whole thing and longer when getting updates and setting everything else up

    I strongly suggest that you buy an external hard drive to backup your personal stuff and take the machine back to factory condition.

    Without knowing what you have done to the registry and these user accounts I would be difficult to offer any further advice other than that.

    I found a place called surdoc that gives you 100GB free storage waiting for it to back up all my videos all my music and pictures are on onedrive and my documaents are on a flash drive so I will go with doing that when surdoc is done
