  1. Temporary Profile - Windows 10 BUG


    Hello, Commuity Developers and Users today i was performing a maintenance on a Notebook Dell when i find a curious BUG about ''Temporary Profile'' basically the system starting in a temp account everytime after restart or shutdown.


    So... after 1 hour searching and try solve this problem i find how to fix that.


    Let's go to tutorial.

    • Step 1: Press Win + R and write ''Regedit''
    • Step 2: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/Windows NT/Current Version/Profile List
    • Step 3: Look inside the folders for ''ProfileImagePath'' and see which directory path goes to your profile for example C:/Users/YourAccount
    • Step 4: After that use Win + I for windows configuration and go toAccounts > Family and other people
    • Step 5:Click on ''Add other people to this Computer'' and create a new account thereOBS you can create a microsoft account or log in with a unlinked account i recommended creating an offline account.

    Don't forget to give this new account the priority''ADMINSTRATOR''


    After all this press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and change the Account for a New one, when the new account login is done, go to''My Computer > Disk C > Users ''and make sure the new account and Public folder are there!!.​

    If everything is correct and the 2 folders are there, Delete the folders with TEMP in your name use SHIFT + DEL to permanently delete.​


    Take and save the old user folder, because if your have saved any files inside it everything will be lost!!.

    Finally go back to REGEDIT/Profile List and delete folders with ending ''.BAK'' and all other where ProfileImagePath is not the current new account directory!!​



    Hope this help!.​


    Kind Regards : Dev HijaZi​

  2. Windows 10 temporary profile error?

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    As per the issue description you are facing issue in editing some settings from a temporary profile. You need to login to your original (Administrator) profile to change those settings.

    I would suggest you to change the account type to administrator, if it is not and see if it helps. Try the steps provided below to change the account type.

    • Login with the temporary profile.
    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Select Control Panel from the list.
    • Select Large icons from the view by drop down menu.
    • Click on User Accounts.
    • Click on Change Account type.
    • Select Administrator radio button and click OK.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,

    Try to login into my profile but am redirected to temporary profile.

    In simple terms and step by step how to have my profile not be redirected to a temporary profile. Answers I have seen are too technical. Cannot figure out where to start on my computer to create a new user account as posts suggest. This started the
    day I updated to Windows 10.

  4. Temporary Profile - Windows 10 BUG

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


    I came home today and had to log in to my desktop. When I did it said it was preparing Windows and I was taken to the temporary profile. I followed the tutorial to delete the profile folder path (step 9). At some point in the process, I confirmed that I could see my old files in C: \Users\BriggsDesktop. When I restarted, it went through the "We're glad you're here" screens. However it took me back to the desktop that looks just like the temporary profile one. I can no longer find all of my files. I tried doing a restore, but it did not complete successfully. Suggestions?
