Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile

If the user profile was deleted, then you will get this message:

Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.

To solve this issue, open C:\Users\ and notice the name of the temp profile, if it is not “TEMP” it will be like “TEMP.DOMAIN.00X”.

Locate the following registry subkey:

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

Now locate teh subkey which contains the “ProfileImagePath” value with the data “<temp-profile-name>” which we noticed from C:\Users folder and delete this subkey. Logoff and login again.

If you were unable to login with the error message stating that the profile is not found, just restart the machine and you will be able to login.
