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
