A user profile may be a collection of settings that make the pc look and work the way you would like it to for a user account. It’s stored within the user's C:Users profile folder and contains the account's settings for desktop backgrounds, screen savers, pointer preferences, and other features. User profiles make sure that your personal preferences are used whenever you check in to Windows. If Windows recognizes a problem while loading your user profile to allow you to log into your computer, it uses an alternate called temporary profiles. Every change you create during a temporary profile is transient, and everything gets deleted once you sign off; however, if you do not want to let Windows 10 system log you or any user with a temporary profile.
