Windows 10 loading temporary profile (cant fix)

[Dpersonal]

So last night I accidentally pressed sleep instead of shut down it got stuck trying to do what it was doing so i forced it off. Started this morning to come to a BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
I managed to get into windows by using the fix start problems (something like that).

Now its loading a temporary profile i know my profile is still there because i can see it in C:\Users
I've tried using regedit to change what profile its loading but it just overwrites everything back to the temp profile after restart. I've tried making a new profile i get an error, I've tried windows update as that seemed to work for some people another error trying that.

Any suggestions to fix this, im slowly loosing the will to live haha

Thank you!

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/
Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

Windows user profiles seem to be really easy to break these days. I would suggest a clean install if you can't get into windows any other way. Did you try a system restore?

change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose system restore and pick a date, PC will roll system settings back and maybe fix this

Only other choice would be a clean install

boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach the screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here).

Thanks for the reply,

I managed to create another profile and move stuff over from the C/user folder and everything's working alright for now.

that is how i fixed mine when similar happened. Did you make it admin? ONly things you need to set up again are steam logins and browsers.

Yeah made it admin and sorted all that.
