Windows 10: Fix You've been signed in with a temporary profile in Windows 10

From your screenshots, it looks like the ones with ".Laptop" at the end are still a temp profile.

If you edit the registry to only remove ".Laptop" from the folder path then restart the computer, you should be ok again.

 

Ok - will try that. Fingers crossed!

 

Sorry - still not sure! Do I delete or rename the files shown in screen shots below?

 

That's ok. *Smile

You would use step 8 in the tutorial to modify the ProfileImagePath value to rename C:\Users\Brian.Laptop to C:\Users\Brian without .Laptop being at the end anymore.

...then just repeat for Helen.

 

Sorry I've been so long - been backing stuff up! Do I need to do anything with the SID keys in the left hand pane?

 

No problem.

Nope. You don't need to do anything in the left pane. Only to modify the path in the right pane to correct it. *Smile

 

Everything hunky dory now. Thank you ever so much.

 

That's great news. You're most welcome. *Party

 

Hey Shawn My name is Christian Miller,
I have followed your instructions with OCD precision and had the same problem maxandmillie had.
So I followed the reply chain and It has put me right back into a temp account.
what shall I do from here; Because I've tried this three times and have gotten nowhere

Thanks, Christian

 

Hello Christian, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Usually when you keep getting a temp profile despite trying the normal fix, you'll need to create a new account to use instead. If the new account also gets the temp profile issue, then you may need to reinstall Windows.

 

So that means I have to reinstall all of my apps and programs? because that will take a couple days and I was going to do a DJ gig in two days.

I really hope that's not the case because if so I have to pay to reactivate my DJ mixer and that's another $100 out of pocket I don't have right now.

Please let me know!

Thanks, Christian

 

I would recommend to try creating a new account first to see if it works properly when signed in to it. You may need to create new shortcuts for your installed software though.

If that doesn't help, then you could also try a repair install without losing anything.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

If you clean install, reset, or refresh Windows, you would indeed have to reinstall all software afterwards. Does your purchased DJ Mixer software come with a license key that you would just need to enter to activate without having to pay again?

 

Unfortunatly the software does not
But I have made a new account and everthing seems to be working fine

Thanks a bunch Christian

 

Great news Christian. *Party

 

Morning

Got exactly this problem. To start with it was named correctly, so I went thru the steps described above. Then it was named incorrectly so I went through those steps. Now it just keeps generating new temporary profiles (scrolling up through numbers each time). I've included some pics below. vickerse is the right username.

Serves me right for doing software updates :/. It did load initially after the updates tho.

All advice appreciated! Please and thank you.
