"Temporary User Profile" always loads!
Please please can someone help me with this??
The problem started when I decided to do a reboot after installing some programs. Since then whenever I log on it takes ages displaying the "welcome" message, then comes up with the dreaded "preparing your desktop" message. It then loads a "temporary user profile" and says that any changes made while logged on to this profile will be lost afterwards, and to check the event log or contact the network administrator. I've read heaps about this problem happening to people with vista and windows 7 (I have vista home ed). It's supposed to be due to a corrupted profile, and so if you delete the profile in the "regedit" thing it's supposed to fix itself. Others have also suggested creating a new account and transferring everything. I have tried countless restarts, restoring the system, deleting the user profile (all my stuff is now fully backed up) and creating new accounts. None of it works - a temporary profile still loads from a newly created account, and even in safe mode and from the built in administrator account. I'm at a total loss as to what to do!! I use my computer every day for work so you can hopefully imagine how frustrating this is! I would be so grateful if someone had an answer!! Thanks |

Thank katie88 I had the same, every time I logged into WINDOWS 7, it did a temporary profile and reload fresh everytime. Turns out my DOMAIN LOGIN included: The MS support tech got back to us after we provided the login monitor trace info to him. He shows that you are a member of a group named, “Domain Guests”. The logs show that when a member of this group the profile gets purged after logging out. Removed the group "Domain Guests" from my login and now it remembers me. Didn't happen on XP, just on Windows 7. |
