Two years later and this still ends up being a problem. My laptop updated last night and I had this same problem. The second fix was what helped fix everything. Thank you so much for explaining this in such a clear way, I don't know what I would have done otherwise.

Hi did it work for you? Because it didn't work out for me and I'm still facing the issue.

[@Azura_Shades]

@@Ahmedch49 It worked out for me twice, I had this issue two times. I'm not entirely sure how to explain what to do if it doesn't work, because the second fix he lists in the video is what helped both times with my laptop

[@Ahmedch49]

@@Azura_Shades you deleted the one profile and then renamed the one by removing .bak ? I did the same a couple of times and restart my laptop but i can't see my original profile, theme, wallpapers etc.

[@Azura_Shades]

@@Ahmedch49 Yes, that's what I ended up doing. I had to pay close attention to the file I deleted. I'm not sure what's causing the issue for you if you still can't find your original things

@@Azura_Shades my original things are in folder C as he showed in first place. When I deleted the profile without .bak it comes their again when I restart the computer.

COMPUTER RESTORED !!!! YAYYY !!! Instructions are easy to follow !! Thank you ! At first, I was unsure if this would work on my computer despite reading all the comments. I thought that my computer had no hope left... However, the second method worked for me !!! Thank you sooo much !!! By the way, do not panic if after you restart your computer (with method 2) & your computer is stuck on "preparing windows and to not shut your computer down." Just shut your computer down, and open it again. Everything should be back to normal. :)

Dude, thank you. When I first turned on the PC in the morning and saw the temporary profile, at first I thought I caught a virus that plays with windows settings, paradoxically the day before I did several hours of working on a PC with important files. Your video is amazing and It saved me. You explain it well, you can understand it beautifully when you talk, you do everything slowly with explanations. Just great, really thanks! I don't understand how such a thing is possible on Windows 10 and how many people still have a serious problems with their OS. I miss the golden times when this never existed on Windows 7.
