How to Fix Temporary Profile Windows 10 Login Error ?

• Before you go fixing this issue I would highly recommend to take a Back Up for all your data.

[  Method 1  ]

Press [ Ctrl+alt+Delete] and in the pop up screen click on sign out when you return to the wake up screen just enter your password/pin and you’ll have everything back.

Hope it works for you but if not do not worry, try out method 2.

[ Method  2]  This  method works in most cases.

Step 1.)

Open Command Prompt as an administrator, for this you can type CMD on your search box and open the command prompt.

Step 2.)

Type ” wmic useraccount where name=’Ankit’ get sid  “

[ HERE REPLACE “Ankit”  WITH YOUR USERNAME]

and click enter, you will get your SID code like ” S-1-5-21-456733585-765883079-4203070475-1001″

what you need to do is you have to just locate this SID code in the next step.

Step 3.)

Now open regedit as a run command, type “regedit” in the search box and open it.

Then navigate to “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE “

Then navigate to ‘Software‘

and then navigate to ‘Microsoft‘

Then scroll down and Navigate to ‘Windows NT‘ and then ‘CurrentVersion‘

Now navigate to ‘Profile List’

If you have this profile issue then you might get some more codes like this which I have highlighted in yellow and you need to just select that one which we have found  using Command Prompt or SID.

Just navigate to that SID code and then navigate to ‘ProfileImagePath‘

Just open ‘ProfileImagePath’ now you need to change the Profile Image Path.

To change it just go to the ‘This PC‘ and then ‘Windows C drive’ and then ‘user‘ and then just click to your old ‘username‘ and copy its path location.

and just paste that location path in ProfileImagePath in Regedit and save it.

Almost done , before you go just delete other long codes  looks like your SID but they ends with [  .bak  ] extension in your ProfileList. 

Now just restart your computer and you will have fixed this Temporary Profile login error issue.
