Two staff have this morning come to the office with laptops that have blank local profiles, despite being in use since September. Desktop contents, web history, Outlook profile, tile preferences all gone. I've not seen this before without it being at my behest! Both state Friday afternoon as the last time it was working, with one discovering the issue Saturday morning, the other this morning after not working over the weekend. Updates not a factor. Anyone know where I can start looking for solutions? I'm working through System and Application event logs, and nothing in the User Profile Service log aside from normal information entries. Edit: Windows Defender AV, nothing special.

Hey folks, I need to call upon the collective powers that be on this forum to try help figure out why Windows 10 logins randomly add ".domain" to a users profile within the C:\Users path Our major issue with this is that our group policy maps known folder locations to c:\users\username\Onedrive\ so when they login and get c:\users\username.domain\ as a profile path they dont get their desktop or documents redirected to the correct location. Onedrive which is setup to SSO on login also crashes out with a 0x8004de40 error We do not use roaming profiles or map home drives, everything in the profile section in AD is empty Now, I know the fix and workaround: 1) Log user off 2) Delete folder : c:\users\username.domain 3) Delete registry key machinename\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\sidnumber 4) Log user back in 5) Close OneDrive and open CMD to run netsh winsock reset catalog - This fixes the 0x8004de40 error However i would like to try get the the route of the problem and try implement a permanent fix so any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated, out of 200 daily logins by staff we have to tackle this issue on average 5 times per day, it's not the same staff and not the same computers the issue arises on so I am ruling out hardware and user account specific probable causes.

Hi, So I have been planning on using local profiles. I have been testing this and it seems to work ok however I have not setup/configured any default user profiles on the machines etc. it has started to come up with an error, blue box saying we can’t sign in to your account it has two options sign out or close. If they select close it continues into windows and everything seems to work ok. Has anyone had this issue? Also we have had a few issues with programs loading etc. Do I need to configure anything for the students local profiles or create a default profile? If anyone has a guide/links that would be helpful. Thanks

What's the best solution to stop OneDrive from synchronising files back to the staff's local profile? It's a major, major issue as we're going around the school noticing the C drives are completely full, rendering them useless until we delete all the local profiles or whatever. Peoples Profiles are like 7GB odd....maybe more. If 20 people have logged on we quickly run out of space. We've noticed our internet is super slow lately too - maybe due to the files syncing to local profile when users move computers? We just want users to be able to USE onedrive to save / access files. We don't want local copies of everyone onedrive on everyone local profile.
