Windows 10: I can log onto my profile but it takes me to a temp desktop.

When I log onto my profile it lets me put in my pin #, but when it comes up it is a desktop with 5 icons, it looks like I am logging into a temp user.

I go into users and see all my folders but I can't get them to show up on my desktop. Help.

Logs into temp profile

I upgraded from windows 8 to windows 10 yesterday and when I logged in it said preparing windows, then said I was logged into a temp profile.

in the event log I have the following

event 1502

Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile.

DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

(the online help goes to a page that is not available )

I also have an error 1508

Windows was unable to load the registry. This problem is often caused by insufficient memory or insufficient security rights.

DETAIL - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

for C:\Users\mike\ntuser.dat

I can not use sfc because I do not have admin rights in temp profile

Logging out and logging back in gives same results...preparing windows then temp profile

 

Missing folder after the PC logged in to Temp profile

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that the when you sign in to the computer, you are signed in to a temp profile. As you have mentioned that you are back to the regular profile however, unable to access a folder, please reply with the following details:

• What is the complete error message that you receive when you try to access the folder?
  
• Which folder did you move and to which profile?
  

You can try searching for the folder or files inside the folder and see if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open File Explorer and press
   ctrl + F key together.
   
2. Search for the folder with the name or the files inside the folder.
   
3. You can also search for the file using the file extension adding the
   * sign as a prefix, like *.exe or *.jpeg
   

You can also navigate to C:\Users and if you see a folder name starting with Temp, you can look for the file or folder inside the Temp folder.



If you find the folder or the file, you can copy the data.



Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
