Windows loads temp user profile on every two reboots

[Tailsy]

hello. for some reason, since about two weeks ago, every two times I power my laptop on, windows fails to load the my user profile and greets me with the temp user profile where I can't access my files and such. however, if I reboot after that it loads my user profile sucessfully. but if I reboot again It loads the temp profile. I scanned unsing My antivirus, and it turned up no bad results. I then tried a disk check, but it only was on for less then 5 seconds when it just said "the disk is clean." i'm not sure what to do now. any suggestions? it's really irritataing having to constantly reboot every time i turn my laptop on.
thanks.

I found the registry entry, but it didn't end in .bak. I installed the latest round of windows updates and that didn't solve anything either.

As a test, create a new administrator account and log on to it to see if it does the same. If not, then you could use that account instead if you like.
