2017 didnt end so greatly for me but 2018 is looking even worst. Ended the year with no internet, took 9 days to get fixed. Today again, no internet and a locked user account in my PC so i cant use it. The only solution i found through my phone was to reinstall everything from 0. All my precious 3D files will get deleted and i have no back up

Yeah you have options you can try before erasing your stuff. I hope you can save it
