About this tag
The temp user tag covers issues where Windows creates a temporary user profile instead of loading the normal user account. This often occurs after a system disruption, such as a power loss during software installation, leading to startup repair and subsequent login problems. Users may find that each login creates a new temp user, preventing access to their desktop and personal files. Deleting temp user folders can worsen the issue, causing immediate logoff. Safe mode may still allow access. The tag focuses on troubleshooting these profile corruption scenarios, typically in Windows 7, and recovering normal user access without data loss.
