I Ended Up in a Different User Profile After Trying to Upgrade to Windows 11, Help!

Asked By CuriousCat45 On

I recently tried upgrading my PC to Windows 11 by enabling TPM 2.0 based on a tutorial I found from a channel called DanielAndJohn. The steps suggested involved disabling CSM support, enabling secure boot, and then turning on AMD CPU fTPM. After I did this, my sign-in screen displayed my dad's profile, which isn't even on this PC, and my own profile seems to have disappeared completely. I tried reverting all the changes, but nothing changed. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

It sounds like you might need to do a complete format and fresh install of Windows 11 from a USB stick. Since you installed Windows from someone else's profile, that could definitely cause the issue you're facing. A clean install should help bring back your own profile properly.

Before going to the trouble of reinstalling, have you checked if your original profile is still on the system? It could be that the profile exists but just isn't showing up due to a setting.

That is really odd! Just out of curiosity, do you have two hard drives installed on your PC? Sometimes, if you have multiple drives, Windows might pull the wrong user profile.
