[BUG] - Windows Reset Itself

[tmulz]

Before continuing...

• I agree to follow Atlas' Code of Conduct
• I have searched our issue tracker to verify that the issue hasn't been reported already
• I have searched the Atlas documentation beforehand for a solution
• I am on the latest version of Atlas, and didn't do an unsupported upgrade

Description

I'm on latest 25h2. Last reformatted a few months ago. No installation media present. No mods, nothing. Just drivers, steam, chrome, process lasso, obs, and crosshairx. Woke up today to the first login ever screen. Atlas configured stuff logged me in then out, set my username, etc. All /users/me files gone but everything else in c root and programs remain. no idea how this could even happen. lol.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install atlas 25h2
2. Go to sleep.

Expected behavior

Windows automatically resets itself?

Actual behavior

Wild!

Atlas Version

Atlas v0.5.0 for Windows 11 24H2

Desktop information

9800x3d.
rtx 5080
25h2 not 24h2

I need more information to understand what exactly happened. How did you Install AtlasOS?

1. Via te OOBE (Shift + F10) method
2. Via the ISO builder

From what I know, Atlas runs a "UserOnce" script, which runs some tweaks and does additional configs, but these are only ran once. (That is why these are called "UserOnce" scripts).

I used the playbook and the 25h2 iso from microsoft, directly. I selected mostly default choices in the wizard. I still have the windows.old folder if there would be any logs in there or elsewhere I can upload them; it's only my user directory that was overwritten.

Hmmm, okay. That is weird. I will look if there's anything I can do.

This has to do something with the FirstLogon / UserOnce script that is being ran.

However, I don't see the reason in this case why it even ran. Do you have any logs or extra info? I need to find a trigger so I can know why this happened.

Atlas doesn't reset the user folder.
Unless there was an actually really weird issue with your install, this would not happen because of the newUser script. all that does is setup some environment stuff, like wallpaper, etc.

Yes This

Should be fixed in next release. See: a41d808

Also caused by double running, script now focuses newUsers.cmd not newUsers.ps1
