Windows 10 Anniversary Uninstalled due to issues, user ID disconnected
My Laptop had Windows 8. It updated to Windows 10 fine. Then there was an issue with a video driver update, but I was able to keep it rolled back. Windows 10 Anniversary Update installed itself and deleted the old driver (no more rollback). It started taking about 20 minutes to get to full boot. Dealt again with frozen screens, mouse, and occasional BSOD and slow reboot. No error numbers that I can think of. I followed Microsoft's instructions to uninstall the buggy anniversary update.
When the laptop rebooted, I think I saw a message about being careful to put in the correct password. I may have had a typo. The system booted with minimal icons and not my preferences or programs. I rebooted. More icons showed up but not all, some apps are broken (Palm), Chrome and no favorites in IE. My User ID appears to have separated from my log in. It shows me logging into a TEMP.xxx.ACER ID. Microsoft still shows my account with the correct ID. The correct ID also seems to have all my data in it.
But I don't know how to connect back to it. Will the TEMP. account eventually be deleted? Should I "sync [my] account? Or will that save the TEMP profile over the good info?
Please help me reconnect to my user ID?
Please move this message to the correct forum if this is not the best place for it.
Thank you,
