Hi Guys,
I have just been "assigned a temporary profile" after a Windows 10 restart. This is the second time this happened in a week. The first time I restored from a mirror image, but i I do it again I will have to sit though all the updates since the mirror image was created.
Firstly, can anyone tell me why is this happening?
Secondly, is there a fairly simple way to sign in to my profile manually?
Needless to say, Linux is working OK and I am using it to sent you this message.
Many thanks,
Alex

Try tap windowskey+i.

then go to accounts and see if you can find more help with your problem.See sign in options.

Thank you Pete, but I still cannot log on. I have been in settings> accounts and tried all the options. Very strange, because my picture is on the screen and settings show correct information. I can log on OK is Safe Mode, but that does not help either.

You say your Linux is working OK, continue to use it and delete that other crap. That is a guaranteed 100% cure.

Well, I restored from mirror image, because nothing else worked. sfc/ scannow produced no errors and attempting to sign in with a local account did not help either. I carried out compatibility test for all my applications and the printer/scanner is suspect - Epson Stylus Office BX535WD. I am guessing this, because I cannot believe that a prominent company like Epson has not updated its drivers to Windows 10. Preamble to the crash is always the same. "Windows wants to repair errors on C:\" and a message tells me to restart. I can, of course, refuse to restart, but that locks me in with Windows, because I need to restart to use Linux, which is on another physical HD. If I restart the errors are repaired and I end up with temporary profile and unable to log on. I am tempted to adopt Vikingken's solution and would have done long ago if only I could get Linux to go into sleep/suspend mode. It is also possible that Linux is causing the problem, because Microsoft is so intolerant of other people's software, but that too is a wild guess.
Thanks again for the advice. I have saved account.microsoft.com and will try to change the password next time, but I have to do that in Linux or Windows Safe mode.
Needless to say, any further thoughts as to how to prevent future crashes will be most welcome.
Best regards,
Alex

Sorry you are having troubles, Alex
It's fun to sort out these problems, but think you should be asking help from Microsoft. Taking it on one step at a time.
Let me know if you get this sorted.
Pete.

As you have said, Windows is very intolerant of Linux. I don't say this is a perfect solution, I have not tried it with Windows 10. Install the two in partitions on different hard drives. I had trouble running XP with Linux on the same hard drive, on separate hard drives everything worked fine. XP was very fussy, I cant imagine that Windows 10 can be any worse. If you insist on running Windows 10, anything is worth a try. The only secure way, use two machines.
