Windows 8 Temp account login problem in Windows 8

[farragut]

ok, all finished. what's next?

Update me. Where or at what stage you are at now?

Are you in Built-in Admin account ?
If yes, go back to my previous instructions and do a system file check.

 

[farragut]

I'm logged in as the Administrator. My old profile is still there, and I've checked to see that all my old files are still there on the C & D drives. I guess I'm ready to create a new profile and transfer everything over to it?

I would first do a system file check first. If it finds corrupt files and manages to repair them, you might not have to create a new admin account.
Furthermore, if you have corrupt files, a new admin account may not work either.

 

[farragut]

where do I find the system file check command?

 

[davidhk129]

Farragut,
The instructions were posted in one of my previous posts.
Go back and find it. Do some searching yourself. Don't let me do all the work, especially repeating what I had already posted.

 

[farragut]

Of course, my apologies. I do appreciate your help and your patience. I found the previous info and have started the scan.

 

[farragut]

David, if you're still there: scan completed, corrupt files found. "...but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing scenarios." So, based on your earlier advice, I'll create a new admin account and copy everything over.

 

[davidhk129]

Keep your fingers crossed. The scan report is not good. It might not be detrimental, but not good news.

Ok. Give it a try.
In your Built-in Admin account, create a new admin just like the one you failed to login.
The method is NOT the same as enabling Built-in Admin account.
Can you do that by yourself or do you need help?

 

[farragut]

Done (with apparently no problems). I'm in the process of copying things over & downloading/installing previously-purchased programs, etc. Thx for all your help!
