You tried. But this alone is not effective in preventing randsomware! Also have two user accounts on your system with the same administrative privilege. Then. Randsomware only attacks screen. So once you login using your second admin password. Then go to registry to correct it. Then boot In safe mode

But what the malware does is to encrypt all the files in your hard disk so I don't think having two user accounts will help with this.
