  2. Goto explorer and enable viewing of hidden files and protected operating files
  3. then go to your profile directory/folder %USERPROFILE% or C:\Users\<Useranme>
  4. enter .\AppData
  5. delete the Microsoft directory from Roaming, Local, and LocalLow
  6. now copy a copy of C:\Users\<Useranme>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft from a newly created user
