Windows 10: Windows 10 - 1809 Upgrade - Domain User Profile Issue

Hello,


As part of testing for our organisation, I have upgraded my laptop from Windows 10 Pro 1803 to 1809.


The upgrade went without a hitch and appeared to be working well whilst logged into our domain (on site) It copied my profile which was fully customised with desktop shortcuts./start/taskbar pins etc.


However whilst trying to work from home, logging into the laptop seems to ignore the cached profile and recreates a fresh profile as if I was a new user on the laptop (ignoring all group polices both user/computer that have been applied to the laptop)


Believing this may have been a glitch, when I returned to site I removed all instances of my profile from both C:\Users and the registry. Created a fresh profile and re-customised with shortcuts etc. Yet once again whilst at home, it has logged me in with a fresh user profile!


We do not use roaming profiles within our domain, also to note there are no error messages appearing saying "logging in with temp profile"


Any ideas what this issue could be? We have circa 700 laptops that we are planning on upgrading to this feature update, most are remote users so as you can imagine if it creates fresh user profiles whilst they switch from being onsite to offsite this is not acceptable!!


Best Regards,

Jon

Migrate Locale Profile to Domain


I removed my reply because watching those instructions on TechNet I started wondering if they really work with Windows 10.

Anyway, whatever you try create first a dummy profile, customize it a bit and move it to domain. If everything works, you can then move real profiles.

 

Windows 10 domain account - The User Profile Service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded

I have a newly upgraded Windows 10 professional laptop, upgraded from Windows 7 Pro.

The system is part of a local domain, controlled by a 2008R2 server.

The administrator account, which was used during the upgrade process works fine. However, we receive this error when trying to log on any other domain based account. All of the other accounts that we are attempting to log in with were not in use on this
system before the upgrade, so there is no possibility of a corrupt user profile.

From a command prompt, I can ping the DC and domain name. The system retrieves Group Policy with no issues.

I have read other fixes for this issue, but they all seem to apply to non-domain based systems where a prior existing user profile existed.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Upgrading on an install with user profile issues

Hi Nazee,

If there are any system file corruption in User profile or Operating system the issue might continue in Windows 10 too. Hence I suggest you to follow the link below and perform the troubleshooting steps suggested to repair user profile corruption and then
upgrade to Windows 10. Or you may also clean install Windows 10 by deleting all settings and system files.

Note: If you want to Clean install Windows 10 I suggest you to take backup of files and folder.
