temporary window profile opening Solved

Question

Hello,

Windows cannot load your user profile but has opened a session with the default temporary profile for the system.

I click OK and then the session opens. But it is a session that is not the same as usual.

What should I do to get my previous profile back and why is this happening?

Thank you.

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

Hello,
I hope this will help, I had this issue with my HP Pavilion running Windows 7, and I called HP support who had me do a small manipulation that seems to work (at least for now). First, you need to be in administrator mode, or even, if you can, try restarting your machine several times to get to your desktop.

First, make known extensions visible:
Control Panel > Folder Options > View >
uncheck: "Hide extensions for known file types"

Then, head to your hard drive:
Computer > C:/ > Program Files > HP SimplePass 2011 >

Then, you need to find the file named: "TrueSuiteService.exe"
and change the extension from ".exe" to ".old".

If this solution works for you, feel free to give it a thumbs up so the solution gets more visibility.
I would also like to particularly thank all the individuals and professionals at "Comment ça marche" who often provide solutions to the issues we might encounter.

Hello Laurent,

restore to a date prior to the appearance of the problem:
"Start" > "All Programs" > "Accessories" > "System Tools" > "System Restore" > "Next"
choose a date (in bold) and a time then "Next"
let it do its thing; it will be back after a reboot.

see you later

Thank you!! Everything has returned to how it was before! For those who don't know how to change the file name: Right-click, properties Then erase "evêché" with your cursor exe. And type "old".

Hello

I'm having the same problem after the Windows 8.1 update that messed up. I'm stuck in a temporary profile. I've tried restarting, system restoration which doesn't work, etc...
I tried your method but maybe it doesn't apply to 8, because I can't find the HP SimplePass folder...

Help, I'm struggling!!

Hello,

I had the same issue with the temporary profile and I didn’t go through any file modification or anything, at the first startup I was asked to enter an email address to associate with Windows 8.
If you did that, it’s possible that the problem comes from there.

Here’s how to switch the associated account to a local account (basically, no synchronization with the Skydrive account that stores your data in the cloud):

- Press the “windows+c” keys or go to the top right corner of your screen to bring up a bar.
- Click on “settings”
- At the bottom, click on “change PC settings”
- Click on the “users” tab on the left, and then on the right click on “switch to a local account”.

Windows will log you out and will ask for username + password (not required if you hadn’t set one before).

To delete any data stored on the infamous Skydrive cloud, follow this link:

Good evening,

much simpler

launch regedit and look for this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
find a folder starting with S-1-5-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXxXXXX.bak
be careful, there will logically be a folder without .bak at the end and another with .bak at the end.
delete the folder with .bak and restart once confirmed.

best regards.

Hello,

The first reflex is to restart your computer.

Then, the other solution (Windows 7 Enterprise with a PC in a domain):
Start > regedit
Find the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

It contains the different available sessions in the format:
S-1-5-XXXXX
and an S-1-5-XXXXX.bak

Rename the one without the .bak to .old
And rename the one containing ".bak" by removing those 4 characters.

/!\ Any modification in the registry can have serious consequences. Stick to the instructions above. If in doubt, feel free to ask on the forum in a new discussion.
Optionally, back up the modified key beforehand.
Do not delete anything in the registry.

Your manipulations are questionable. I prefer, the few times it happens, to restart my computer. It's safer and it works just as well. Indeed, when it happens to me, it's because the last session that was opened is my work network session and I didn't shut down the computer in the meantime. It hasn't made the transition and is looking for my personal session (the one on the computer) on the network. The worst thing that ever happened to me was, when it did that even after a restart, creating a new session on the computer, transferring the files, NOT FORGETTING TO ENABLE ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS, since those were on the old one, and deleting the old session. I don't mind going to change more or less complex settings; it even happens to me often, but I hate manipulating system files.

One thing needs to be integrated.

There are two procedures....

- a Windows XP procedure
- a Windows 7 procedure

For XP, a solution that works:
The account to repair (example: TOTO)
- log in to a session with administrative rights
- rename the account TOTO to TOTO.old
- log back in to the TOTO account; Windows will recreate a profile under the name TOTO with the correct SID in the registry.
- log in to a session with administrative rights again
- rename the TOTO account to TOTO.TEMP and rename the TOTO.old account back to TOTO, and without transferring data, everything goes back to normal.

For Windows Seven, the procedure with the registry is mandatory. Follow the procedure given in this topic.
And for each of the procedures, there are several methods.

I provide these details because Windows XP is no longer supported, so the procedures are becoming quite rare.

Hello, I used the crapoulou post technique on Windows 10.

- Upon rebooting, the computer created a "user-computername" profile

I went back into the database to modify the path of the "user-computername" profile with the path of the actual "user" profile
After rebooting, the computer opened the old profile that was no longer opening... cool ;)

Thanks
