  • I spoke with microsoft support, they told me to restore and it worked, haven't got the chance to try your solution, if this problem will occur again will try your solution, I'm accepting this answer now because the problem is solved

  • @Lynob, I know that you have the best of intentions, but you shouldn't accept an answer strictly because the problem is solved. If that answer didn't resolve the problem, you aren't really helping the other members of the Super User community who might read this Q&A in the future. The proper thing to do would be to submit your own answer with the solution that actually did resolve the problem, and accept that accordingly.
