I Fucked Everything Up... Again

Yo my gals, guys, dolls, and miscellaneous figures. William here and I have fucked everything up on my computer and will be spending the next few days trying to recoup.

Summary:
  • NSW Department of Education closes school emails.
  • Windows keeps bugging me that there is a problem with shared accounts and it has something to do with my high school email.
  • I am unable to disconnect from my account.
  • I may or may not have accidentally deleted my local user account from lusrmgr.
  • I revert the update and return to another system restore point.
  • I log in as admin and into safe mode and I get stuck in a safe mode with networking loop.
  • I fix that.
  • I begin to fix everything to get it back to normal.
  • Some account issues begin showing up again.
  • I install a Windows update.
  • There is a bug that prevents me from signing in with any account outside of safe mode.
  • I learn that the NTUSER.dat of my new account is probably corrupted.
  • I change the NTUSER.dat for my account.
  • There is now a sign-in loop.
  • I reinstall Windows.
  • I set up yet another new account.
  • I set up a local account to change the User folder name.
  • I am no longer able to open Microsoft Edge (I know, what a loss) and am unable to log in to my Microsoft account.
  • I delete my user account because I'm a brain-dead moron thinking I had a backup. This delete my ENTIRE user folder including the desktop (where I store random projects) and downloads alongside AppData.
  • I make yet another new account and start over nearly from scratch.
  • I use a backup of the Desktop I made just half an hour before the whole charades.
  • I can't use File History because Windows consider my computer a NEW desktop.
  • I transfer over the old Desktop but LITERALLY every file has the suffix: (2020_07_23 22_16_45 UTC).
  • I learn that I have never backed up my AppData, making me lose basically all of my Minecraft saves (Rest in peace: The Return - 31 August 2019 to 24 July 2020). :(
  • My desktop icons are still messed up. (UPDATE FROM 25 JULY: The icons have fixed themselves!)
Just remember, things could get worse. I hope you've all had a great 23-24 July 2020 because mine has been... interesting. Yes, this was entirely my fault. Anyone else would have been content with an annoying reminder. I wasn't and I paid the price of not backing up.


Me reconstructing my desktop from an unlisted livestream after my first stuff-up. After my second one, I used a screenshot of me reconstructing my desktop from a livestream to reconstruct my desktop.

Remember to back up your stuff for the love of the Holy Sheep.
