  1. Profile Lost After updating to v2004


    Just updated windows, tried to log in and got the error "unable to load user's profile"

    Restarted, tried to log in again, and now windows created a new profile. Same Microsoft account, but it's like I created a new profile.

    Checked in the user file, my profile is still there (appdata, etc), windows was just unable to (or didn't wanted to) read my profile.

    Do people know how to bring back my old profile without needing to log in into all my accounts ? (Merging profile or idk).

    Thanks a lot !!

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Profile Lost After updating to v2004 :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.

    Profile Lost After updating to v2004

    Systemwide password amnesia (v2004 build 19041.173)

    Before the upgrade to v2004 and after, I've been signed in to Windows using my Microsoft Account instead of a Local Account and I've having this problem with credentials occasionally lost after a reboot. Any suggestions?
