WOUtempAdmin problem

I have an ISO with all updates for windows 8, the ISO located in the desktop, doubled clicked the ISO which mounted it, then clicked the updateinstaller.exe(I think) and selected to automaticly reboot and recall. after it started it swiftly rebooted and got stuck in the WOUtempAdmin with nothing happening.

Then switched user and did again launch the updateinstaller.exe thinking maybe it needed to create once the admin user and then it will work, but same thing happend.

Then I thought that maybe the file need to be in public folder so I put it in public/documents and relaunched updateinstaller.exe which did install lots of updates but once it restarted again it got stuck in WOUtempadmin.

having updates installed I didn't want WOUtempadmin to be around so I went ahead and deleted the user account. but now every time I boot my pc I get a screen "other users" which has in the username field "woutempadmin" and stating that the user does not exist, which means it tries to log in to woutempadmin every time I boot my pc. Please help how can I stop that and instead make it try to log in to my account just asking me the password!!!???

Could you burn the ISO to a DVD and try again?
The problem might be caused by the virtual ISO not mounted soon enough.
Please run .\cmd\CleanupRecall.cmd with admin-rights to clean up WOUTempAdmin.

running CleanupRecall.cmd fixed the issue with the boot into the wuotempadmin but it seems like it messed up with my profile, my documents folder, favorites in windows explorer, start screen apps seems to have vanished, also chrome data (profile) is missing. not big damage for me as it was a fresh install, will install again, and next time will burn the iso to a disc and update the system that way. thanks
