Logged into a temporary profile, please help!
I have 2 accounts. One is Administrator and other is standard. i have access to both. The account that has a temporary profile is the standard, which i don't know how it happen. I looked over the internet and the forums here. but nothing helps. some of the solutions are for profiles that were deleted but i didn't delete mine. So, i'm not sure what to do. I checked out my registry editor to locate the user's, and i have noticed that there's 4 folders.
1. Danny (Administrator)
2. Temp (Which i'm using right now)
3. Danny Sillence (.bak at the end and is my standard account)
4. Guest
This also shows in C:\Users.

I expect that command has to be entered in CMD?
On what account the administrator or the standard (temporary profile)?

The usual cause of this is the development of a bad sector where the user profile is stored. Power on, press F12, boot to the Dell diagnostics and run an extended hard drive test.

Look for a failure error beginning with 2000-. If you see that, replace the hard drive.

Not if a hardware fault surfaces, no - if it doesn't, you can try a chkdsk /f to see if that fixes the issue. If not, you'll need to create a new profile.
