After installing Windows 10, I changed my Administrator account password, losing my EFS-encryption on some system files according to this fine print which I didn't read in my haste to make sure I had a working password:
Now, I can't downgrade because it keeps giving me the error when trying to downgrade that I need to remove Administrator (even though I restored its de-activated state through "net user Administrator /active:no" command).
If anyone has any solution at all... I will try anything.
Answer
I'm not 100% sure if this'll work, but I think it is failing because it still finds the profile on your computer.
The following steps are for windows 8 (can't test it on 10 right now, but I bet they're nearly the same)
- Right click start button
- Select Control Panel
- Open System
- Choose Advanced System Settings
- Under tab
Advanced, FrameUser Profiles, press Settings... - Select the user and hit Delete
