How to re-create a corrupted profile in Windows 10 (Step by Step guide)

[@tugbahirfanoglu362]

Definitely choose this video. Because I watched many videos about this issue. But, they did not work, because they gave incomplete information. Thank you very much

[@jaxorsomething]

My file name wasn't the same in my registry and you just fixed it. Thank you so much you're a life saver I thought I lost all my files for a second

[@abhilekhprasad2635]

My IT guy was not able to fix the issue for the past 2 weeks. Following this fixed my issue. ☺️☺️

[@christopherenebeli8614]

Well done Nick,Your video made this special task so simple.User profile issues has always be a pain in the neck for all IT folks.Thanks again especially system administrators.

[@roughryder5]

Great tutorial my dude. Ran into a corrupted profile issue at work for the first time. This was seamless. Thankfully the dude only had the computer for a week so not much info had to be copied over.

[@calicoastin7015]

The local Admin account was corrupt I booted into Safe Mode went to this Registry setting and deleted the folder that corresponded with the local Admin account , restarted and was able to log in. There was an update waiting for itThis video worked for me, Thank You!

[@calicoastin7015]

I created another local Admin account to be able to do all this I'd like to add that I took another "Default" user profile from another working machine and after backing up the original one (rename to Default.BAK) I copied the folder over to the affected machine. Then with the newly created local Admin account I ran all windows updates this also disabled the built in Local Administrator account (Good thing I created the backup Local Admin) as I was off the Domain. After logging into the newly created Local Admin and updates I restarted and Re-enabled the Local Administrator then I was able to log in. I hope this all makes sense

Dear Nick, when I have created a new user profile and am copying files from the users account, you said do not copy and paste all of the files and folders as they maybe corrupt. How can I know which files and folders to copy then to avoid having the same error? Thanks in advance.

Bro thanks a lot 👍👍 Just a question should I delete the .old profile folder and temp profiles folders which were created in users folder ?

[@waihongkoo7896]

I tried to delete the .old profile folder but not allowed. Any suggestions on how to delete the folder?

[@RobbieRSA]

Really helpful tutorial man. Was hoping you'd bring in settings transfer also with changing UID, as I need to copy from an old, dead OS to a new one and we need the whole profile setup with settings also. Got any tips there? Please? Done it before, but can't remember the finer final steps.

[@efrensavariz9773]

Hello , if you wrongly deleted some files on the profile list; what it will happen ? Do I need to reinstall my windows?

[@doublecsquared]

I tried all of this, and my user profile continues to be corrupted and new TEMP profiles keep getting created. What am I doing wrong?

[@Iukeafk]

Ever find a solution?

[@DarkAdonisVyers]

I assume that this can also be done with the admin's account?

[@eversonsd1057]

Muito obrigado irmão, que Deis te abençoe

[@rodfalanga3770]

Nick, I'm not certain why you'd not want to copy almost everything from the old profile into the new profile. Certainly, some things, like the OneDrive folder in your example, wouldn't need to be copied as OneDrive would re-create that for the user. I would think the same would be true of DropBox, etc. Other then things like that, I think anything else could be moved over. I'm not sure how a corrupted file, could corrupt a profile. Perhaps it's possible, but I don't know how that could happen.

[@seanalgerian377]

I know this is 2 years old, but can I ask if you copy everything from corrupt old profile to fresh new profile? if you can then is it possible the new profile would become corrupt too?

[@rhyslanouette5086]

@@seanalgerian377 Not likely. The corruption was inside that old user profile. In the video a new profile is made which is working without issues. Copying the files over to the newly made profile should not corrupt the newly created profile.

[@djexplorer3845]

it doesnt work on me... when i am going to rename it something pops out aannd says error

[@FURRYHUSKY1000]

That's honestly a lot of stuff to do just for me to get one program (NMM) to work properly tbh. But I'm clueless on what other solution I have just to make NMM work. The program NMM works on all other profiles in the computer but not with mine which I find strange. I wonder if I can copy-paste all of my settings from the original profile instead having to tinker with a lot of settings again (eg. wallpaper, etc.).

[@NLBSolutions]

Hi Furryhusky1000, are all the profiles normal user or administrator profiles? Copy-pasting all of the settings will not guarantee that everything will work as supposed to. Applications usually are installed on per computer basis and not user profiles.

[@FURRYHUSKY1000]

Yes, all profiles are administrator profiles. I just couldn't figure out why the program doesn't work specifically on my profile but on other profiles it work. I have posted a bug report about said program last week and I still don't have any help from them. Also, the reason I think I have a corrupted profile because I've been searching problems related with KernelBase.dll and most search results kept giving me about corrupted profiles. If you also want to see the error logs via my event viewer so you could have more idea what's wrong, I have a forum post on their site for that. forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/5729772-nmm-suddenly-stopped-working-and-unable-to-launch/ EDIT: To be honest, I don't think KernelBase.dll and .NET Framework is the problem as NMM works on other profiles (but still not on mine and I'm very confused) because I've done sfc /scannow and also tried repairing .NET Framework. I have also tried checking the disk, didn't gave me any errors.

[@DarkAdonisVyers]

After doing so, the best way that I know of to check whether or not I'm still in a temporary profile is to go settings and click "sync your settings". Before, it said that something along the lines of "cannot sync settings; logged into temporary profile", but now, when I click that button, the entire settings window becomes unresponsive, except for the close button. Does this mean, at the very least, I managed to get into my actual account and the computer is just trying really hard to sync? I might even decide to just create a local account, but first, I still need to know whether or not I have "escaped" the temp profile, at least.

[@NLBSolutions]

Hi, you can try to create a mail profile and re-create your local profile using the guide. When you are done you can switch to the local profile. Do not forget to backup your data.

[@ColinWatters]

How did you get "Other user" on the login screen? Have MS removed that feature now?

[@NLBSolutions]

Hi Colin, nope this is not a feature and it is still there. Other user option will be available if you have multiple local users, or a domain-joined computer.

[@ColinWatters]

Hi NLB, looks like it might only be available in the Pro edition of win 10 but you can still create the account by logging in as an admin user and creating the account that way. Thanks for the useful video.

[@oneman7638]

So I how do you remember the profile path in windows ? for the registry.

[@soneeeee4440]

pretty sure nvdia driver update did something to windows. my first reaction when i saw this generic logon using my credentials was WTF! how can i log on and have no files in my cloud folders or on PC etc.? thanks MS!!! SO I shut down, restarted and everything came back. Does this mean i'm ok or will it happen again. In XX continuous years of windows, this has never happened to me. Almost as scary as the "enter bitlocker unlock key" thing also happened recenlty on another pc, also a first.

[@NLBSolutions]

Hi Dan, can you check the permissions on the registry key. In some occasions these can get messed up. You can give yourself full permissions and should be able to delete it. Do not forget to export 1st (backup).
