My previous user account became corrupt and so I created a new one and moved all of my data to the new user account. But like the title says I can’t access any folders. I can’t even access My Computer or even the Control Panel. It keeps saying I don’t have the appropriate permissions to access these folders and paths. I’ve tried changing ownership and I’ve tried changing permissions to the new user account. So now I have no idea what to do.
Does anyone have any ideas?


When I go into safe mode, I am able to open my files and folders. I've also tried disabling all services and startup programs and still have the problem. I've also installed Malwarebytes and did a complete scan of that.

Update:
So I tried creating a new user account with admin privileges. At first it seemed to work but after I finished transferring all of the data from the old user account I got the same problem and now I can't access and folders. It still says I don't have a appropriate permissions.

I'm usually pretty good at solving my own computer problems but this one has me confused.

I'm wondering if this problem has something to do with copying over my data from the old user account. But I don't know what files I should be looking at.
