    "You have been logged on, on a temporary profile" - Recurring Issue


    Hi-

    This is a painful issue because things like chrome which are installed as per user do not work and nothing profile-wise can be saved on a temp profile.

    This is the second time it has happened (the first time I created a new profile as suggested). However it has happened again barely 2-3 weeks after creating this new profile. I do not want to just create another new profile because I cannot just keep creating new ones when one corrupts. The installation of windows is pretty fresh, it's barely a month old.

    Tried restarting (lots), running without startup services (msconfig) and running in safe mode but the issue still occurs.

    Relevant Microsoft articles:

    Error message: "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded

    I have tried this and it did not work.

    This is just telling you to create a new profile and copy the settings across which I do not want to have to do every month...

    I have done my fair share of googline but have only found results leading to creating a new profile...

    Any help at all would be appreciated

    Thanks

    generally, when working with broken profiles in Win7, I would backup and reinstall.

    That would be a real pain, being such a fresh install and not having enough removable storage to back up the 2tb drive
