Hi so I have been a lil stupid, so my 馃槃 drive was too full for me to make a backup so I wanted to move my users folder to my 1tb HDD whyich I thought was a great idea, I did that but then ran into problems when logging in, so I tried moving them back but it just made it worse, I had the Susie where it would say we are just getting things ready for you over and over but then I restarted and now it logs in but is pretty corrupted. Since I don't have a restore point I can't restore it, so is there any way to restore windows 10 to a previous point in time without a restore point?? Or am I just stuffedHi so I have been a lil stupid, so my C drive was too full for me to make a backup so I wanted to move my users folder to my 1tb HDD which I thought was a great idea, I did that but then ran into problems when logging in, so I tried moving them back but it just made it worse, I had the screen where it would say we are just getting things ready for you over and over but then I restarted and now it logs in but is pretty corrupted.聽 So I created a new user account and transferred all the files over not including the system files and hidden folders and it's just not the same, most of my shorrtcuts on my desktop are gone and my background is different. Since I don't have a restore point I can't restore it, so is there any way to restore windows 10 to a previous point in time without a restore point?? Or am I just stuffed

Can probably make a new user account, set it as admin and from it delete the old one/reconfigure anything you need.

Should have moved just your聽large files, not the entire profile folder.

Yeah that was a little bit dumb on my part, is there any way windows creates a restore point automatically or do I have to manually do it because it would be nice to have everything the way it was聽

It makes some automatically at some key times like installing a program or such, go see in restore if you have any. I would not expect it to keep the entirety of the user profile folder though.
