1. 0:04Hello and welcome to my YouTube channel! In  this video, we will see how to fix if you
2. 0:08have accidentally deleted an user account in  Windows 11 and want to restore it. So, let's
3. 0:13get started. Now, the deleting process is quite  straightforward and easy. But the recovery process
4. 0:21is quite tedious. Let's see the solutions to  recover the account. We have here first solution.
5. 0:27In this case, you can use the system restore  feature which is a built-in system feature for
6. 0:32Windows users. You have to simply click on the  search icon present on the taskbar or you can
7. 0:38open the start menu and simply type system restore  and from search results select create a restore
8. 0:44point. Then click open. In the system properties  window, make sure that the protection settings are
9. 0:50on for your system root drive that is the C drive  where Windows is installed. If the protection is
10. 0:57turned on for your drive, you can simply click  on the system restore button here and then click
11. 1:03next in this window. At this window, you can  manually select a system restore point when
12. 1:08your user account was present. And uh once you  select that, click on the next button. And in the
13. 1:15confirm your restore point window, simply click  on the finish button. After clicking the finish,
14. 1:20Windows will try to restore to the restore point  and hence undo the action of deleting the user
15. 1:27account. So this was fix one and in case if you do  not have the system restore points created before
16. 1:33then you can try our solution number two. So in  this case you can try registry to restore back
17. 1:40your deleted user account. Simply right click on  the start button and select run in run window type
18. 1:46regedit and click okay. Click yes in the user  account control confirmation prompt. When the
19. 1:51registry editor window opens, go to edge key local  machine software Microsoft Windows anti current
20. 1:59version profile list. When you expand the profile  list, you need to carefully locate that uh entries
21. 2:07for the user account. You may have multiple  entries for the same user account. So here we
22. 2:15have registry sub keys ending with 1001 and there are  two entries one with 1001 and one ending with 1001.bak.
23. 2:27Go to the right pane of this entry and make  sure that the profile image path registry
24. 2:35expandable string has the value data exactly same  as the user account folder profile name you want
25. 2:43to restore. All you need to do is simply right  click on the entry without having .bak extension
26. 2:54and once you delete that entry after deleting  the entry you should see something like this
27. 3:00you should have only entry without .bak extension  and finally make sure that the state registry
28. 3:09dword at this registry location is having value  data set to zero. Once you do these changes,
29. 3:16you should be able to restore back your  directory user account. In case if you
30. 3:21have any question about these methods,  do let me know in your comments. I'll be
31. 3:24happy to help you. And that's it for now  in this video. Thanks for watching it. If
