(Solved) How to fix Windows 10 Administrator account temporary profile

Question

_{Thursday, March 30, 2017 2:14 AM}

When I installed windows 10 and first use, I created user1 account in administrator group. Then, I login user1 account and go to Computer Management to active administrator account.  After that, I restart computer and login administrator account to install all software(windows update, office, adobe CC, Autodesk, etc.). When I finish all install process, I go to run sysprep (In OOBE Mode with **Generalize). **

**When I run sysprep after, I create user1 account **administrator group and also go to computer Management to active administrator account again, but when I reboot computer and login to Administrator account after, I saw the account profile C:\Users\Administrator is empty folder, and auto create a new Administrator.xxxxx or Administrator.V6 etc.

Anyone can help?

Many Thanks!

Hello,

Finally, I found a reason. Is  the RealPlayer problem...I need to do something before to run sysprep.

-          Delete RealTimes file
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\RealTimes(Delete)

-          Delete RealPlayer File

Files C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Real\RealPlayer\All Files(Delete)

-          Stop RealTimes Desktop Srvices and RealPlayer Services

Go to Services, Open RealTimes Desktop Srvices and RealPlayer Services, Startup Type: Manual

And stop Services

After, I run the sysprep and enable administrator account is normal now. Thanks your help.

Hi, 

I have tested on my computer and there is no such issue, My administrator account keep as what I have configured before sysprep. But it was just disabled as default. I would like to say that my computer has not join any domain. 

I just customized the account in Normal mode not in the Audit mode. After run Sysprep /generalize /oobe, I get to reconfigure the original admin account before login. 

**Would you please provide the setupact.log under Windows\System32\Sysprep\Panther, please upload the log file onto OneDrive and share the link here for our research. **

Hello, Thanks for your reply.

I tried install Windows 10 and Driver only, and run sysprep, is not any problem. Then, enable administrator account, the profile path and folder is normal. But when I install software(office, visual studio, adobe cc, autodesk, etc.) and run sysprep again, enable administrator account after, the account will create temp profile folder.

Hi， 

Did you use the build-in sysprep tool under C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe？ 

It seems that there's something wrong with your sysprep tool. Your sysprep provider is: [IE sysprep provider]

By default, we get sysprep generalize starting: 

2017-04-04 23:45:04, Info                  SYSPRP ========================================================
2017-04-04 23:45:04, Info                  SYSPRP ===          Beginning of a new sysprep run          ===
2017-04-04 23:45:04, Info                  SYSPRP ========================================================

For administrator profile, sysprep tool did removed operation:

2017-04-04 23:45:10, Info                         [shsetup] Deleting temp files for 'S-1-5-21-2****************0491-500'
2017-04-04 23:45:10, Info                         [shsetup] Deleting contents of 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent'
2017-04-04 23:45:10, Info                         [shsetup] Deleting contents of 'C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp'

After all these completed, we get users folder restored back without administrator profile folder, I have showed all protected files and hidden files:
