    Hi TrealdiSuryo, I apologize for the late response, Have you tried to change the ownership?

    1. Right-click the folder that you want to take ownership of, then choose "Properties".
    2. Click "Security" > "Advanced" > "Change". If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password.
    3. Type the name of the user that you want to give ownership to, and then click "Check Names" and "OK".
    4. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders that are contained in this folder, select the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" checkbox. Then, click "OK" to confirm.

    please let me know if this works

    Hi Jeremy,

    here's are the error.

    "C:\Users%users%\AppData\Roaming is not accesible.

    The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

    I'm tried using the CMD command dskchk and nothing comes up.

    I tried delete the files and nothing really happen

    I restarted my windows yesterday using the Windows Recovery and It doesn't solved anything

    And my Windows updates are not working either.
