Windows 10: my PC creates a new temporary user every time I log in

hey,

for some reason, every time I log into my user in my PC, a new temporary user is created. i cant think of anything that triggered it.



so my questions are:

1) does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? [yes, i tried restarting]

2) is there a way to recover the original files that were deleted?

thanks!

:)

Log in & Create new user issues

I was having an issue creating a new user profile for windows 10 on my Sony vaio laptop.

Initially once i created the profile using her windows log in I was getting the error 'user profile service service failed the sign-in'. To fix this I tried removing the profile and creating a local profile. Upon restarting, I received the same error message.

Having looked in the community discussions, I saw that using 'windows +R' brought up a user list. I did this and checked all the info was correct for the user profile. I also checked the other accounts on there. I am the administrator and was in the 'homegroup'
group, there were also a couple of other profiles that had similar names to mine but were for software updates in the description.

Upon closing the window, I believe I was prompted to log in to make the changes. When's I clicked ok, it took me to the log in screen where both my administrator profile and the other user profile were listed. However now, it only has the new user profile
available. There is nowhere to click the administrator profile and I am still getting the user profile service error for this new user profile which is not allowing me to go any further.

I have tried to open in safe mode in order to do a system restore but I'm being prompted for an administrator password which is coming back as incorrect (it is definitely correct as I have just logged into the account on here with it).

so now I am unable to do a system restore, a reset or log in to a profile as my administrator profile doesn't seem to exist any more.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks

Sam
