after recovery, Windows error: "We can't sign in to your account"

Thread solved

(the "account" is the milan...@gmail.com Microsoft account)

(1. I recovered c: from a tibx, then updated Windows.)
(2. Then I recovered c:\users\milan from another tib . )

When I tried in Windows to log in to milan (milan...@gmail.com Microsoft account), I got a "We can't sign in to your account" Windows error.

Get-EventLog:
  7849 Jan 24 12:39 Error        Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service       1511 Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.

I tried many queries in Google.

I got too impatient and I deleted and re-created my windows account.

For future, I wonder:
Does anybody else get this "We can't sign in to your account" Windows error ... after Acronis recovery?

EDIT
(but I don't know if it is important)
LATER I found a strange difference between the Acronis-recovered and the new c:\users\milan:

different behavior of 
dir 
on paths like
'C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data'

I tried google
"Application Data\Application Data" site:acronis.com  ....  1 :

Still unable to remove -6154 and install -7119 | Acronis Forum

I could google:

acronis "Application Data\Application Data"

Milan, welcome to these public User Forums.

(1. I recovered c: from a tibx, then updated Windows.)
(2. Then I recovered c:\users\milan from another tib . )

I suspect that your actions above are the key to this issue with your account as your second action is replacing hidden / system profile files that are stored in the C:\users\... path and which either have been corrupted by restoring these to an active Windows system, or else no longer match the information stored in the Windows registry files.

These profile files should only be backed up / recovered as part of a disk backup & recovery, they should not be included in any Files & Folders .tib files or recovered from the same.

This is the same limitation that prevents users from using ATI to try to migrate programs and applications between computers!
