I don't know if this will help
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter

To give the new account same access as current one, while logged into old account, copy the contents of that users folder in c:/users onto the new users foiler in that directory. Then all you need to do is login to programs like steam and Onedrive (examples) and no need to reinstall win 10
