Solved

"The extended attributes are inconsistent" Error not fixing

This kind of error is appearing for anything that requires even a teeny bit of admin privileges

Note - I'm the sole user and administrator of the computer.

BUILD - Windows 10 19041.

I tried:
1. Sound driver change
2. Scan disk via CMD but admin mode was needed

Other prompts like USER ACCOUNT and all are not opening either.

Sometimes even copy-paste are not working.

Kindly help.

  Hi KapilArya. Thanks for your reply.
  
  Unfortunately, it did not work. Moreover, I could not open netplwiz because the same error appeared for that as well.
  
  Anything with aven remote requirement of administrator rights is not opening plus user accounts wizard is not open either.
