Updated my BIOS occasionally, and Windows sometimes logs me into a temporary account about half the time. It’s simple to resolve but does bother me. Solution? Motherboard: Asus TUF X299 Mark 1 BIOS: Asus 1301 Windows: 10 (clearly)

Windows and BIOS aren't linked in this way. Issues with your account might stem from drivers, but I'm unsure of the exact cause or affected driver. Your account has partial corruption. You can resolve it by generating a new account.

Perform a disk check. It’s likely there are FS-related problems affecting data access at the places where your account details are kept.

This situation only became even more confusing shortly after the BIOS update.

Have you attempted to create a new account and verify login? Simply paste your files as images or desktop items. FS – refers to the file system. Launch the command prompt and execute SystemFileCheck to repair damaged files. sfc /scannow. Then consider using tools like Disk Checkup from Passmark or similar software that checks your hard drive’s S.M.A.R.T status to detect potential failures.

I'll attempt the first option again, since the initial system file check passed. My drive seems healthy because it's a 960 Evo and I haven't made any heavy changes to it.

I've encountered numerous short-lived profile problems at work, and they rarely justify the effort to resolve them. The simplest solution is to delete and start fresh. The most straightforward fix exists only if you previously had a registry and backup of ntuser.dat before the issue arose—something that's typically improbable for most people.
