    In this video I am going to show you how you can re-create a corrupted profile in Windows 10. Profile keys can be found here:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Note: Be careful working with registry. Deleting an incorrect key can lead to unusable OS.

      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

  • @FURRYHUSKY1000
    @FURRYHUSKY1000 7 лет назад +3

    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
      @NLBSolutions  7 лет назад

      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
      @FURRYHUSKY1000 7 лет назад

      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 4 года назад

    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.

  • @rodfalanga3770
    @rodfalanga3770 3 года назад +1

    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.

      Hi Jay, this is a tutorial for domain joined computers. If you do not have any other local accounts on this computers that you can use, you can try booting in Safe mode or even Windows 10 recovery and try to re-activate the local administrator account from CMD using the command: net user Administrator /active:yes
