  • This video shows how to resolve the temporary profile error in Windows 7.
    -On keyboard hold down the 'windows' key and press the 'r' key.
    -In the run prompt type regedit and hit enter.
    -In the registry editor, browse to the following key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    -Expand the ProfileList key and find the key that has .bak added to it.
    -Delete the key that has the same string of characters, but DOES NOT have .bak next to it.
    -Rename the key with .bak. Just delete the '.bak' part and hit enter.
    -Close registry editor and reboot. You should be able to get back in to your profile now.

    If it doesn't work for you... Use Malwarebytes to scan for malware... in my case it was active malware blocking the profile from loading correctly. My machine loaded fine in safe mode, that's what gave me the clue. GREAT VIDEO!

    • @AndriusDubinas
      @AndriusDubinas 11 месяцев назад

      For me it helped to simply change ProfileImagePath value to your actual user directory (and ignore the .bak key).
      This helps if your original profile had more errors than is covered in this video.

    For everyone that this is not working, make sure the profile path in the original key is still valid. For example, if your profile path is something like D:\user\profile, make sure "D" drive letter is still mapped to that drive. If not, change it to whatever the new drive letter is. This might happen if you add new drives or remap.

      Actually after using some other fixes of which one caused me to just be stuck on windows logo for eternity i managed to boot into safe mode create new admin account move all the important files to the new admin account and completely wipe out the corrupted profile, thats what fixed it for me. I hope you wont have to go through what i had to i think if the fix from vid doesnt work for you either the safest option would be new admin account, i have found another fix which does work for a lot of people but you are running the risk of getting stuck on windows logo without login option or worse black screen just before the windows logo so even though it works for majority im not gonna recomend it bcause when it fails it fails big. I spent entire day to fix it and most of that time was spend on trying to launch at least into this temp accont after couple of diffrent ways I finally managed to get into safe mode and save the day in 10 min.

    I didn't see the error message. I moved all the data to the temporary profile. When i logged off all the data was gone. Windows did delete it permanently. I used a program called GetDataBack and it still couldn't find it. That program gets deleted files back even if the drive is formatted but it couldn't get the files back that windows removed.

    This didn't work for me at first, but it pointed me in the right direction. We have an Active Directory domain, and it was a domain user profile that was the problem. I didn't care about losing the profile itself, so I just removed the .bak version of the registry key (from an account with admin privileges), then let Windows create a new profile for the domain user upon login.

But it still gets me anxious and it makes me overthink that I accidentally deleted SID key, will it still be okay?

    In the recycle bin o can find and restore files deleted last week but it goes into a folder with proper name but empty of anything else but the retrieved deleted file.
    + any folder I would try to open, I get an error message saying it the path is not linked. Cannot access.
    What shall I do?
    And at least how to reverse the procedure and get the .bak profiled I deleted?
