Hi Jeff,

If the profile worked, that means something in your current default profile
is causing that.

Normally, the culprit is a third-party plugin, but you excluded that
already. So it must be something else. It would be interesting to compare
both profile folders trying to find what may be causing the problem.

Anyway, when you have several profiles, the last profile to be closed, will
be the one chosen the next time you open QGIS. If that doesn't work, you
can manually determine which profile should be used by editing the
profiles.ini fil inside the profiles folder:

C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\profiles.ini

The easier way to access this file, is to go to Settings > Users Profiles >
Open current profile folder... and then move one folder down.

To remove a profile, you can simply delete the profile folder. If
no profile folder is found, QGIS will recreate a new Default one.

Best regards,
