OMG!! I've been searching all over the internet for my start menu fix. My apps where grayed out and I couldn't use my snipper/calculator/calendar. I tried the updater. I tried to reboot and rest in safe mode. I tried several other suggestions and nothing except for this resolved the temp profile error which fixed access to everything else. I was wondering why my screen looked different. I truly appreciate you!!!! 🙏🏽 ❤️ 💛 Thankful for you!!!! So many others are having the same issue on the Microsoft questions. I hope they find you like I did.
Went through like 6 different videos; absolutely refusing to listen to 30 minute ones or Ai ones, found a human, and it was you. Thanks for saving my laptop buddy. I’m talking almost 500 pages of a novel that I hadn’t backed up. Subscribed. 👍🏾
Thank you so much! I just woke up to my laptop and found out that all of my downloaded files and desktop shortcuts were gone! But my profile still remained the same. The 1st solution already worked for me. Thank you!
Had to sign in and like the video and comment. The first fix worked for me - modifying the reg key from 1 to 0 then running updates and rebooting. When I logged back into the profile it was still messed up but a pop up said "sign out of profile to resolve issues" so I clicked okay and it signed out. I signed in once more and all was back to normal!!
I really had to come back to say thank you for real! The .bak change did it for me. I was about to give up on my relatively new computer just because of this. I tried one more time with this video and it has saved my laptop. Thank you so much, you are the greatest out there 🙌🏽
Thankyou so much this has happened with me twice ,first time i just gave up and download everything all again but this happened again so i am now glad that I watch ur video
Thank you so muchhh!!. I was literally panicking my research was deleted and I didn't know what to do about it.I am literally grateful i saw this vid🖤🖤
Sir, thank you for your knowledge and the ease of your teaching methods as these steps allowed me to bring my laptop back to life where I needed it to be! I was in the middle of preparing an assignment thought I was at a loss but not so. Thank you very much!!!!!!
Thank you for this excellent tip! Restoring the .bak profile did the trick! It is alarming after a Windows update to lose your profile. I feel this is irresponsible of Microsoft to release an update with critical errors such as this that requires on to edit their Windows registry to resolve. No typical home user should have to do that! I feel sorry for the 100's and thousands of Windows users not fortunate enough to know how to scour the Internet for Windows fixes.
At your comment about updates 9:45 I check for updates & a message say "this machine doesn't meet the minimum...etc etc to run w. 11 ? How is this possible? Microsoft installs w.11 on my machine!
Thanks a lot for this video 😊 All my documents and dekstop icon loss last time. Then I spent my time to figure out how to recover it until I found this video. I did the first instruction but it didn't work so I tried the second one and it worked. This is amazing 💯
Thank you so much brother ❤️❤️😭😭 you saved my life , i was struggling with this problem since yesterday, whenever i turn on my laptop it resets every setting i had done but after watching your solution its fixed the error , keep it up brotha ❤️🔥
Thank you very much the first steps fixed my pc how it was before . I was so scared lol you earned a subscriber in me great job n smart guy keep it up.
Thank you so much for this valuable information shareing when I was open my laptop evening it shows temp profile where all files became empty here ur video helped us back our original profile 📁🤗
I have a problem, when I turn on my computer, Windows gives me the error user profile service failed the sign-in, I have an "ok" button, I click on it, Windows throws me at the sign in lock screen, but after entering the correct password, it gives me the same error, after restarting and the same errors windows sign in as "TEMP" user, and when I entered windows as that TEMP user, I restart the computer for the second time and then everything is normal, I sign in my account, but these TEMP things are still there. What should I do, because after I turn off and on the computer, this behavior repeats itself? Windows 11.
If you have a proper corrupt profile, as I did for someone who had completely filled the system disk, you can just create a new profile and copy everything across from the old one. I only copied the folders I needed, whether copying everything (all the AppData etc) would have effectively imported a corrupted profile to the new one I don't know didn't have the time to try it.
At least you could actually get to your temp profile! Mine tried to load one and just froze at "Prepearing Windows" for upto half an hour! (I had never had loading issues on windows 10). Eventually a profile appeared but it had no start menu and no taskbar and stopped responding after just a minute. It was totally unusable! Luckily i was able to get back to windows 10.
I was in such a hurry that I accidentally deleted the BAK file instead of the one without. I saw it in a different video and it didn't have a warning like yours. Still my fault. Now my profile is deleted and I'm devastated. Is there any way to get it back? I'd greatly appreciate the help.
Sir. Please I need ur help. After I upgraded my system to window 11 I lost off on my files too na I did was that I searched it and it took me to the public files and I saw all the files. What I did immediately was to move them out to my standard folder. Den after couple hours I turned off my laptop and on it back and I couldn't access all the files again. Please what should I do. I have done everything u explained on these video, no adjustment
(COMMENT BEFORE WATCHING WHOLE VIDEO, ILL REPLY IF IT COMES LATER) When you said "Your files are still on your computer" I checked, it said that Windows:C had 250GB / 512GB on it, so I assumed it was still on there, I went to users - All my user folders didnt add up to 250GB. My user folder with MY NAME on it said that it was recently updated (Today). The folder was empty.
I accidentally moved all of my files to the temporary user. When I signed in again may original user came back but the files on the temporary had lost. Can I somehow restore the files?
Hey, thank you for the video. But what do i do if i dont have the bak folder ? i have one of the folders with the long name but it doesnt say bak at the end
Help! This has happened to me, I can't fix it, I've tried several videos but I'm stuck I'm starting to believe that my laptop is actually corrupted, but I don't know how to fix it, I'm only so young. Is there any way to help me in a simple way?
You must've saved so many people from cardiac arrest. I'm one of them. Thanks again, amazing work!
Me too
Just finished bawling my eyes out as a uni student with over 2 assignments due today. Thank you so much 😌

@agamerscoven did you get your missing folders back like this??
Nice work..just turned my laptop on after the xmas break and recognised a temp profile. this fix was the solution.
Thank you so much! I just woke up to my laptop and found out that all of my downloaded files and desktop shortcuts were gone! But my profile still remained the same. The 1st solution already worked for me. Thank you!
Excellent and clear advice with no irritating background music or flashy graphics to get in the way. Good work!

I was in such a hurry that I accidentally deleted the BAK file instead of the one without. I saw it in a different video and it didn't have a warning like yours. Still my fault. Now my profile is deleted and I'm devastated. Is there any way to get it back? I'd greatly appreciate the help.
My task bar is not showing as well. I cannot run
Will all the programs installed be retrieved after backing up to image xml thingy?
So like when I did the second one, and restarted it and logged back in, my profile picture is gone and then it’s stuck at a black screen
Omg thank you so much! I was so stressed that I lot everything but this worked!

@@arsalanuddin3661Hi, I managed to fix mine along time ago. I ended up resetting the pc through the cloud and it fixed the temp user issue.
Help! This has happened to me, I can't fix it, I've tried several videos but I'm stuck
I'm starting to believe that my laptop is actually corrupted, but I don't know how to fix it, I'm only so young. Is there any way to help me in a simple way?
