Have a weird issue that not sure how long it was going on for, Whenever I try and get into Device Manager, I am getting a message that it's restricted. I have no idea how since I am an Administrator on my own device.

What about similar utilities such as
  • Task scheduler,
  • Event viewer?

Task scheduler and Even viewer are both seen when I search for them but I cannot click on them in the search. I have to right click choose file location and then when I try and open them it gives me the same message about being restricted. I did find a thread saying to delete a registry key do not run or something similar in registry which I've done. I can now at least open Device Manager but those other apps are the same thing

I found my original profile became corrupt. I had to recreate a new profile. The apps/games installed under my old profile I can just move over to my newly created profile?

It seems your issue was from an authorization level (aka permissions) which is further seen by the fact that your old profile was corrupted, and that creating a new profile solved the issue.

Anyway, you should be able to just copy your personal files/data over without issue. For apps and software, you may have to "reinstall" to insure proper functionality.

Good luck.
