    New profile is created when remoting into machine over VPN instead of logging into existing... JS1xYzVXfdkDlQ2ElRcMKtOkLXl3XMoSq2Z5rUlwQX4.jpg

    Simple as the title. I've got a PC at a client's that's creating a new profile instead of logging into the existing account when logging in over VPN. The desktop only shows default icons, none of the network drives are mapped, etc. None of the other PC are having this issue. The log in screen now lists both accounts with the same name. This is obviously confusing/frustrating to the client having to find the right profile before they can start working.



    I've never run into this before and not finding much online to help me out. If anyone has run into this or knows what's going on, I'd appreciate any help!

    I can't create a New User Profile that is Not Corrupt! Please Help!

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing in creating the new user profile on your device. Do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    As a work around, I suggest you to enable the built-in administrator account, log-in with the admin account to create a new user profile and check if you are able to check. This will let us know if the issue persists with user account or the operating system.

    Step 1: Follow the steps to enable Built-in admin account.

    Enable Built-in administrator.

    • Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
    • Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open
      Command Prompt      .
    • Type the following command and hit Enter:
    • net user administrator /active: yes (Check for the spaces)
    4. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.　　

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.　

    Step 2: Refer to the articles to create a test user account/ Microsoft account respectively.

    For Local account: Create a local user account in Windows 10

    For Microsoft account: Help with Microsoft account


    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of creating new user profile for further assistance.

    Thank you.
