Hey everyone! I recently had to reinstall Windows because of a corrupted file, and now I'm facing an issue. After the installation, I noticed that all my files and games show a '1' next to them, and I'm unable to install anything new. I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm hoping for some advice here. Is this a common issue, and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

It sounds like your Windows installation might have created a second user profile or moved your files into a duplicate directory. That '1' usually indicates that you have duplicate folders or shortcuts. You should check your Documents, Downloads, and other folders to see if that’s the case. Also, make sure you're logged into your main admin account and that your Windows is updated. That might resolve the installation problems you're having.
Did you reinstall your drivers after the Windows reinstall? Sometimes, if drivers aren’t installed properly, it can cause issues with download and installation processes. Consider checking if all your hardware drivers are up to date.
It seems like you might have done a cloud reinstall, which is fine. However, if your files are still showing up as duplicates, it could mean they didn't transfer correctly. You might want to look for any 'Windows.old' folder where old files are kept. Make sure to check your accounts and user data settings too.
If you didn't have a backup, it can be tough to recover everything. But, since you're okay with reinstalling games, you'll just need to make sure you sort through those duplicate files. Once you clear that up, it should be smoother to install new applications.
