After booting in Safe Mode, I was able to log in, but now it got stuck at the "Just a moment..." screen.

I waited for 15 minutes and saw all sorts of reassuring messages that things are moving forward (even though they aren't).

After another reboot, I was able to log into Safe Mode, but the desktop and the taskbar failed to load, so the only way to open a file manager is via Win+R (run command).

I finally figure what's wrong with my user profile: C:\Users is now an empty directory. The horror!

Ok, the Users dir is still there, but it's now in D:\Users, my second drive. How come?

The registry says it should be in %SystemDrive%\Users, but %SystemDrive% is still C:...

How can they have botched it so bad?!?

And how should I fix it? Edit the registry or move Users to C: ?

@codewiz If it is just for gaming, just switch to Linux

@chfkch I _do_ use Linux for the games that work on Steam!

Elite Dangerous was always too glitchy with Proton, but now users are reporting that it works well:

Time to try again...

@chfkch My Saitek X-55 hotas should be in one of the boxes shipped from Japan in September and hopefully arriving later this month.

Meanwhile, I could force myself to do some of those on-foot missions, but... they're just too boring
