How to Fix Temporary Profile



Please backup your user data to start this procedure & do your own risk. 
Press the + R keys to open the Run dialog, type regedit, and click/tap on OK.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

You will find some profile list here. Select one by one & find out ProfileImagePath from right side.
A) In the right pane of the SID key, look at the ProfileImagePath value to see if it is for the same user account name (ex: Brink) that has the user profile error.


7. Right click or press and hold on the SID key (ex: ...-1006.bak) found in step 6, and click/tap on Delete

8. Click/tap on Yes to confirm. (see screenshot below)

10. When finished, close Registry Editor.

11. See if you are now able to sign in to the user account (ex: Brink) from step 1 without getting the "You've been signed in with a temporary profile" error.

12. If successful, the affected account's (ex: Brink) user profile will be recreated and no longer receives the error. You can then copy any files you want back from the back up created at step 2.
