Recovery of Windows 8 user profile

I used my husband's cell phone to transfer music from my old Windows Phone to my new Windows Phone.  I plugged the devices via USB and everything seemed to go very well.  After that my music has been transferred to my new phone, I decided to move the images on the old phone to my account OneDrive.  At this point asked me for my info Microsoft Password and next I was asked if I would like to access my profile of his laptop or something like that.  I thought that I was simply adding another user to his laptop computer profile, but looks like I ended up replacing my profile with his, and now I can't he come back to where it was before I managed to ruin her day.  I feel so terrible about changes to its system, and it is on the top upset on this issue.  (I'm not in danger, not to worry)

I'm desperate to know how I can fix this, because I'm no expert, and I want just her account back again.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Deborah

p.s. I tried a system restore, and it was not fixed.

Hello roxymorgan

If your husband is local, go to PC configuration, select users, and then click on, switch to a local account. I can't guarantee that all of its old data will be restored

If it's a Microsoft Account, select Add a user to the same place mentioned earlier and as usual, that I can't

ensure that all of its old data will be restored.

A system restore does not affect personal files for your information and user profiles

Hope this helps

* Was just watching old unanswered questions so your problem could be solved already *.

Thanks for responding, even though it was already fixed.  I was able to understand what I had done.  My profile is still on his laptop, but he got her back.  (I just had to disconnect from my Microsoft account and sign its local account.)

  • Create a Windows 7 user profile which resets after each reboot.

    I want to configure a limited in Windows 7 user profile that performs the following steps after EACH restart or disconnection:

    • Reset the desktop icons / shortcuts
    • Network mapped reset drives
    • Reset saved passwords
    • Delete the data stored since the last session

    The idea is to create a profile for workstations in an office of the admin who works a bit like an internet café. They have a couple of shared workstations, a network printer, and they store the data on a file server and work on a local application server.

    The current problem is that they constantly record their passwords, remove network drives and change the General configuration of work stations (by chance), which makes it difficult for other users to work - that they do not recognize the look & feel and now don't know where to do what.

    Hello

    I think my user profile may be corrupted so I'm trying to create a new profile and copy the Ntuser files anywhere in the new profile by following the instructions in the Article ID: 811151.

    I created two new Admin accounts loged on my old account and connected to one of the new admin accounts.

    When I navigate to C : \Documents and Settings\ Old_Username  there are only two of the three files listed, NTUSER. DAT and Ntuser.dat.LOG, and both are slightly dimmed. When I copy these files and go in C : \Documents and Settings\ New_Username  I get an error saying "cannot copy NTUSER: it is used by another person or program." Close all programs that might be using the file and try again. »

    My home screen tells me that only the new admin account someone connected and when I go into the Task Manager there is no process running with my where ancien_nom_utilisateur, the entire SYSTEM and the new admin account?

    So, what I'm doing wrong, how to fix this and have is my Ntuser.ini file?

    Press on and hold down the CTRL key while you click each file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:

  • Windows continues to change user profile folder

    Hi all
     
    I'm facing a real headache. My computer continues to change user profiles folder every restart 2 or 3. For example, my user name is MSF\Bob. The user profile folder has been C:\Document & Settings\Bob. After a restart, Windows create a C:\Document & Settings\Bob.MSF then Bob.MSF.000 and Bob.MSF.001 folder and so on.
     
    Someone has an idea why this is happening and how I can prevent this?
     
    I thank very you much in advance!
     
    Best regards

    Easy question to answer.  You simply have a corrupted profile.

    When Windows detects a corrupted profile, it automatically generates a temporary with names profile as you describe.  Usually, these profiles are deleted when you connect your computer turned off, but not always.  The solution is quite simple.  You just need to recover your corrupt profile.   There are two general approaches.  One is to do a system restore to a point in time before the profile was first damaged.  The other usually involves the creation of a new user and moving profile data on to the new user (you may reset some of your settings).  To do this, choose one of the following articles and follow through:

    PS: Corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied by alteration of the disc as well.  After your recovery, perform a check disk (chkdsk) with the "/ R" or "/ F" option

  • "The user profile service failed the log - on" problem of Windows XP administrator account

    OK, so my mom is unable to log on to his profile on Windows XP Home Edition. She has both the administrator account. When she tries to connect, you will see the above error message. My brother can log into his account without problem.

    My mother told me that she had initially gone on ITunes and downloaded 3 things that the program said she needed. When she went to reboot his computer according to the instructions, she received this error message and cannot connect.

    She then guest account and was able to remove the 3 programs, but nothing helped. If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. This is the Windows program that is already installed on the computer.

    I tried to search in the forums, but it's a little confusing. She got also never all warnings "temporary profile".

    Thank you!

    Looks like the user profile is damaged.  To allow for the recovery, you will need to log in with an administrator account.  If your MOM was the only administrator account, try starting mode safe mode (F8 at startup) and log in as user 'administrator '.  The default value is the empty password.  After that, follow the steps in the following article:

    I would add that corrupt profiles are almost always accompanied, if not caused, the corruption of system files.  As such, you must perform an operation of check disk (chkdsk) with the option to repair no matter how or if recover you.  If you really feel lucky, a chkdsk operation sometimes will fix a corrupted user profile.

    Profile of user "will disappear" If Windows detects a corrupted user profile.  Usually, this means that the registry user hidden system file: C:\Documents and Settings\\ntuser.dat is damaged due to the failure of the disk, power glitches or whatever.  Generally, two approaches to recover is to restore the registry from a backup (by performing a system restore) or to create a new profile and copy the profile data user (with the exception of the corrupt ntuser.dat file) to the new profile.  These options are covered here:
