Can someone help me to resolve this issue? Windows User Cannot Log In (Stuck on Login / Temporary Profile Error)

A Windows user enters the correct password, but:

The system gets stuck on “Signing in…”

OR logs in but shows “You’ve been signed in with a temporary profile”

Desktop files and apps are missing

Some applications crash immediately after login.

Fix Registry Profile Entry

Press Win + R, type regedit

Navigate to:

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

Look for a folder ending with .bak

Actions:

Rename the folder without .bak

Set State and RefCount values to 0
