User's folder missing in Windows 10
Here is my scenario. Yesterday, when I turn on my computer I got this "We can't sign into your account" message
Logged in with temporary account, I still can open my files which located in "C:UsersAdminDesktop". I followed option 1 from this solution but no luck. So I try to play around with regedit by refering those stated in solution above.
I remember I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList and I change the ProfileImagePath in S-1-5-21-2708815971-2449333151-1371584642-1000 from "C:UsersTemp" to "C:UsersAdmin". Then the nightmare begin. I cannot see all my files and folder anymore. When I go to "C:Users" there is no folder "Admin" anymore.
I've tried to set back everything that i've changed to its original values but nothing good happen. I know that my biggest mistake is I didn't make a backup of it while I still can access them. But now that things already happened, Is there any way I can retrive it back?

sometimes that is once-occur issue, just sign out and sign in again. Everything works fine.
If the issue hasn't gone after re-sign in, try the following methods:
Method 1: Fix the user account profile
Method 2: Log on to Windows and copy your data to a new account
Method 3: Delete the error SID and create a new profile
For detailed information, refer to this guide:
You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message
