  2. User Profiles not uploading at Start

    Hi Ernie,

    Your computer might have experience a fresh start when the upgrade occurred last December 16, 2017, and the user profiles on it got affected as well. However, let us not jump into any conclusions yet until we isolated your concern. Let's see if we'll be
    able to recover the missing user profile using a command line in command prompt.

    • Open CMD as Administrator.
    • Enter this command "net localgroup “Administrators” [Computer Name][Missing User] /add".
    • Once done, restart your computer.

    You may also check if you'll see the missing user profile/s in Local User and Groups manager. Here are the steps on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows + R on your keyboard, then type in lusrmgr.msc.
    • Click on Users, then check if the missing user profile is on the right pane.

    Let us know if the above steps worked.

  4. User file is missing my profile. How do i get it back

    User Profiles not uploading at Start

    Solution #1: Didn't work. Still getting the same startup profile without any of my programs.

    Solution #2: Got a warning: Local Users and Groups

    This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 10. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Account tool in the Control Panel
