For the people that get screwed over the first part and get the (The user profile service failed the Login , user profile cannot be loaded) message, which happened to me btw, do these steps to fix it: 1. Restart your computer and as soon as your computer comes back on, repeatedly press the F8 button to get to the boot screen (Depends on you computer it could be another button, F8 worked on mine, google yours if it didnt work) 2. You will see an option called Safe Mode: With Networking, press that (Dont worry if your computer looks weird when you log it, its supposed to) 3. Once your in, see this guys video, the part where you go to your registery (regedit) and get to your Profile lists as he shows in the video 4. Remember when he said to switch the .bak from one of those 2 files to the other? switch them back to how they where before :) basically you will see two files with long names and the only difference will be the .bak in the end, delete the .bak from the first one (or second one) and place it on the second one (or the first one) 5. As he showed in the video, the one now after you did the last step WITHOUT the .bak, modify the refcount and stat to 0. 6. Restart and login normally 7. Like this comment, if this works to let me know I helped someone out by doing this As for the solution for the temporary profile? Still trying to figure it out myself, both parts of this video didnt work for me, not saying this guy is fake or ANYTHING like that, its just this solution doesn't work with all types of devices or with everyone
What is the "State" supposed to be? Cuz I saw lotsa people with 0, as is in this vid, but mine is 32768. Is it safe to change that to 0? Thanks in advance, and I hope you've fixed your issue by now.
Thank you sooooo much!!! I've called professionals and hired people and talked to who knows how many people over the phone trying to fix this, and you helped me first try!! you are the BOMB dude!! thanks a bunch!
Restart your pc. Somehow launch the start up repair( if you can’t search for it. It’s too easy) Wait for sometime and click recover. Restart and it solves.
I have tried the solution but it didn't work for me plz assist, in my case I have created a new profile and cut information from the previous one and paste it to the new one when I tried to login it's when I got that message saying I have login to a temporary profile any advice 🙏
@Daniel Gan Your hard drive needs to be removed and checked from a secondary computer with the hard drive manufacturers software to see if it's healthy. Good luck!
Thanks! I will just add that if you do not see the profile with the ".bak" termination then simply continue on and check the "state" and "refcound" entries and ensure they are both set to zero.
After doing the exact same procedure and i tried to restart my laptop and when i sign in back it keep saying The user profile service service failed the sign in User profile cannot be loaded Help!
Thank you man. It happened a week ago to me - had no time to check for a solution (so I did avoid to use the system trying not to make it worst) until a few hours ago, when I found your's, sound about right - I tried and it WORKED. Some minor differences were: - the account name was the same after get the the "preparing your desktop" message; - desktop and base settings were the same as after I installed the system few years ago, like even the scrolling function dissipated or sound settings etc.; But everything get fixed with your 1st method. Big thank you!!!
Hello, I have the same problem right now and I followed exactly what you did in this video, but when I tried to restart it. I cannot access to any of my profile. Now, I cannot use to computer. Do you know how to solve this? Is my laptop broken now?? Please help me. If I sent it to a repair shop will it cost a lot of money to fix my laptop??
Thank you sooooo much!!! I have been looking for a solution for 48 hours in different forums and your video solved my problem. You are really kind to use your time to share solutions that are so helpful. Wholehearted thanks!!
Thank you so much man. During this I was freaking out because I thought I lost years of hard work. You're voice calmed me down and walked me through it. Thanks!!!
@alwayafix: After rename and other settings when I logged of the user, I get a msg saying "The profile Service service failed the Logon. User profile cannot be loaded." What do I do now? Kindly give a suggestion as early as possible. Thanks in Advance
@@CradleEpiscopalian56 you mean all 100 videos I have posted to help people are all fake? Calm down explain your problem and I will do my best to help, otherwise take into service and pay to get it fixed
A quick note. If this is a domain PC and a non admin account you will need to make the user an admin either on the DC or through the cmd prompt Net localgroup administrator (domain)\username /add. Hope this helps, thanks for the video !
Thank you so much for taking the time to help, you are an angel.. I started my computer like normal but when I logged on, it was like a totally different computer.. The first step in this video helped me and so far everything is back to normal. Thank you so much! Almost gave me a heart attack..
+jagjit singh kalra Follow the instructions in the second part of the video, create a new user profile, copy over your files and delete the damaged profile.
You have terribly FAILED To answer the questions below. Like a lot of people mentioned, we cannot log on. After following the steps, it says "The user profile service failed to logon user profile cannot be loaded" WHAT DO WE DO FROM THERE????
Absolute legend!!!! This has now given me access to all my files again!! I can now actually complete my presentation for my interview next Tuesday with no worries!!! Thanks so much! Subscribed!
alwaysafix yah! it happens to me also cannot access the windows then i had to modify it again in safemode and bring it back to what is it then i can able to login again but in temporary loggin file again means your tutorial didnt help!
Obviously your original profile is beyond repair. I suggest creating a brand new profile from scratch with administrator rights and then copy all data from the original profile and then deleting the said profile. Good luck!
thank you it worked. thing is now that the profile i have seems very foreign to me as i have been using the temp profile for a very long time. for all those guys who finished the code running in safe mode, make sure you shut down your computer first then log into your profile instead of logging of and on after safe mode or it wont work.
@TVMusicandLife Before you get a replacement laptop, have you tried to do a factory restore? Please note, this will retsore the laptop to factory default and all your data will be wiped, so make sure you have a back-up first.
i did the first step and restarted the pc now i cant even log in. The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded. Thank you soo much dude
Thx mate, did just paniced when i logged on and everything was gone. TH-camd the profile problem and this video came up. 5 min and it worked. Sooo thankful 👍👍👍
That was one of the best solution for my problem. We kind of new to AD and some times take 4 to 5 hrs to restore the client profile to original. This way is SUPERB, easy fast. THANKS a million.
you are amazing ! although i did get a message saying sign in failed after signing out, a quick reboot and it was as though nothing had been wrong ! you saved my sanity. i thank you.
Omgee. I thought it will not work on mine because I could not logged in when I did the first option but then I relogged in until it worked. Thank yooouuu! It saved me a lot! My files are very important. 100% working.
+alwaysafix please answer my computer is messed up because of deleting .bak and I can't even get back in the that regedit now my computer doesn't work at all please help what can I do
First, you need to make sure that your hard drive is healthy. Your hard drive needs to be removed and connected to another computer via a usb adaptor, so that you can back up your data first and foremost and then run disk diagnostics to make sure your disk is 100% healthy. If the disk passes disk diagnostics, I suggest you run factory restore and then reinstall your data. Good luck.
Thank you so much! I thought my hard drive suddenly wiped its self and I lost all of my 8 year old photos! But I did this and it really worked! I cant thank you enough!
Hi , in regedit, there you say "two profile" well i have 3 profile, what i should have to do ? two called with 1001 ant the end and one is with 1000 at the end of the name. I was got wrong setting some days ago, when i log to my profile, some programs was deleted special from DISK C . please help
Thanks Man!!!! it worked!!!! my laptop had updated today and it send me to a temporary profile and i thought i had lost everything so i followed your steps and looks like its back to normal.....Thanks Agian Brother!!! 🙏🏽👏🏽
Thank you sir, your video helped. I found the .bak registry key and removed the .bak from it, along with the other options you said and it worked. Thanks!
Please someone reply me.what is a temporary profile?where did this came from and why is this temporary profile in my computer.it appears everyday when i turn on my pc.have i made something bad to my pc?is my pc damanged?help me.sorry for my bad english
omg thanks so much I was so worried that I lost everything and its really been stressing me out lately but now its all fixed thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Perfect fix thank you very much!! This should be shared around a lot more, there are several plans for fixing this problem that are way out of whack!! Only thing is, the "changing RefCount and State values to 0" doesn't seem to change anything, I went back in after and the values are the exact same as they were before...
Hi, thanks for the tip. A couple of questions though: 1) Can I delete the .bak registry entry afterwards IF this procedure works? 2) Should I do this procedure in Safe Mode regardless if I get the message that the User Profile Service failed? Thanks in advance.
Thank you so much! The first solution worked for me without being logged on safe mode. May I ask how did this problem happen in the first place? It's pretty spooky when I first saw it.
After fixing the Profile from being in Temporary Profile Mode from the Profile Crash though, it would no longer delete the things inside it, when logging off, turning off the Computer, or restarting the Computer, etc.. Right?
Oh my God...... thanks a lot!! It's been days and I'm getting desperate in finding way to fix this problem. Thank you so much!! Btw what probably caused this problem?? Is it because my Windows isn't installed perfectly? Is it safe to do these steps over again if (hopefully not) this happens in the future?? Thanks. Again.
alwaysafix Thank you for providing a meaningful video. However, I don't know why I have followed your second method, the computer doesn't allow me to enter user2. It keeps forcing me to log in with the original user, I can't manage to make another user to restore my original desktop setting. Is my computer getting totally out of order? Looking forward to your reply.
i tried this and it did not work and now I'm at a challenging situation. alwaysafix if you can please see if you have any suggestions, it would mean the world to me. I tried addressing the registry using "regedit" to go into the "Profile List" and remove the .bak from the original profile and rename the temporary profile with the .bak. After I set the "State" to "0" and the "RefCount" to "0", I restarted to see if it recovered my Profile but it didn't work. Then I tried a "System Restore" and I successfully restored to earlier that day BUT the settings of the Temporary Profile were kept. I was no longer using a Temporary Profile but the settings and Profile was still blank as if it was a temporary. As of now, I can see in my "D: Drive" that my old Desktop and its data is still there, but the one that is showing is the one that showed up as a temporary desktop. All my settings are gone in Google Chrome, my Start Screen, My Desktop Background, and Taskbar etc. Is there a way to fix the registry so it shows the original Desktop instead of the "Temporary" desktop? If I look into my "D: Drive" and inside the "Desktop" folder, all my original shortcuts and files are there. I just need to make the original profile visible and load the original desktop instead of this Temporary Desktop. I was thinking maybe undo-ing the System restore as I am no longer loading a temporary profile but the temporary profile settings are still showing up. I find that risky and look to you for any registry know-how that may solve this issue?
Kieran Druce Create a new user with administrator privileges and then you can move data from the previous user account to the new one and then delete the damaged user account. Good luck.
So I followed the comment to get back in, in safe mode, did what commented said. Restarted and still no recovery! WTH?? I could see my old desktop in safe mode but not after process and restart. Help!
Guys Important Message WARNING: Editing Registry Will Be risky So If It Dodn't Work Just On Off Pc for 2 or 3 Times Then The Option Will Come Launch Startup Repair! After Doing Click Restore Then It Will Take 10 to 15 minutes And It Will Say Finish CLick Finish And Enjoy ! The Old Profile Again!!!! Thank Me LATER!
I've done the second method and im using a new account now. I've transferred all files. But my google chrome bookmarks are gone.. Any way to recover them? Also right click mouse kinda has a 5 second delay
Is mine completely corrupted? I can't seem to find it in C Drive/Users and when I go to regedit it just shows the .bak version only... It used to show the other one but then I restarted the laptop because that did not work... I'm so confused lol
Hello, I have the same problem right now and I followed exactly what you did in this video, but when I tried to restart it I cannot access to any of my profile now I cannot use to Computer Do you know how to solve the problem please help me
Hi @alwaysafix . Do you have a fix for windows 10? I've tried the .bak method , but i am stuck when there is no Refcount folder available at the renamed ones.
@alwaysafix Thank you so so much for this video, I still cannot believe that I managed to get my profile back. I thought I had lost everything and got very upset about it. Then I decided to give your video a try on TH-cam and I am so releived.. I can breathe again haha..
I've tried it but it doesn't work and i can't even log in. It said "the user profile service failed the sign in. User profile cannot be loaded" what should i do now?
i've had a temporary profile in my main account for a few months and i just wanna know if this will also restore my data and files when i perform it. will it?
Hi tried your fix on the registry editor, done it exactly how you showed on the video but now when i try to sign in i get the "user profiler service cannot start" or whatever it is and ive tried refreshing and restoring windows but both cant complete due to errors, help me out please, cant log into my laptop at all now and im using an old laptop to write this message.
i enabled built in administrator account via the cmd by enabling the windows 8 tools by clicking restart while holding down the start key from the log on screen then i could log into the built in admin account and make the nessecary changes on reg edit to get my account back.
I did as followed & this was the result after i logged-in; *" The user profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded "* I also did manage to create another profile with administrative authority but after logging in, it goes to a "temporary windows profile" .... Any solutions?
Yusuf Omar From the temporary profile create a new user with administrator privileges and then you can move data from the previous user account to the new one and then delete the damaged user account. Good luck.
ex20000 Go to C: then users, there you will find a folder with all the user data that exists on your computer. Check and go through them all. Good luck!
and also it says it will delete the files that you have created on the temporary profile. doesn't it mean it will add missing ones meaning it will add itslef again
I followed the first step but when I restarted to log back in it said "The user profile Service service has failed to sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded"
If you create a new user, your files from previous users will not be affected, only if you run a factory restore can you lose your data. Thanks for watching.
Um so I tried doing the .bak thing when I restarted my computer it didn't work, I checked the regedit and then checked the profiles and the .bak was the temp file and there was no file to my actual file of my .bak with my old profile, is there anyway to get it back??? Please help
hi I had the same problem thank you it worked out great but now I cant download any games for free like I used too and when I do the box that you get to allow you to install shows ??? any idea what I can do to fix this if possible show in a video so I can go step by step
I recently updated to Windows 10 and right after finishing, I was logged on to a temporary profile. Without realizing this, I moved all my backed up files to this profile... then I restarted my computer then lost all the files I put in that Temporary profile, is there any way for me to recover this?
It worked but then it gave me the "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied" when I rebooted. I tried going into safe mode but it only pulls up a new logon screen for a moment then reboots to the original logon screen. HELP!
jeffinillinois Try and boot from the Windows Install disk, select repair your computer and then try a system restore to a few days back before you had the problem. Good luck!
Do I need to be on safe mode for method one? I did it on safe mode and when i log off, my files were back but I was still in safe mode. So I restarted, but then the problem comes back.
Having this problem except in my case this is a work computer and multiple users on our domain log into it. There are a LOT more than just two profiles. I have found the one for the "problem" user and it ends with .bak but there isn't one for her that does NOT have .bak
This message started coming out in the screen. I can't log in "unauthorized change was made to windows. Windows has discovered a change that will result a limited windows functionality " can you help please

First, you need to make sure that your hard drive is healthy. Your hard drive needs to be removed and connected to another computer via a usb adaptor, so that you can back up your data first and foremost and then run disk diagnostics to make sure your disk is 100% healthy. If the disk passes disk diagnostics, I suggest you run factory restore and then reinstall your data. Good luck.
Thank you so much!

Also thanks to my IT colleague who recommended your this video.
your damn idea make my computer a very big window problem now i am coment you with moblie
omg thanks so much I was so worried that I lost everything and its really been stressing me out lately but now its all fixed thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Much appreciated and Happy New Year.
alwaysafix Happy New years to you as well!
Perfect fix thank you very much!! This should be shared around a lot more, there are several plans for fixing this problem that are way out of whack!! Only thing is, the "changing RefCount and State values to 0" doesn't seem to change anything, I went back in after and the values are the exact same as they were before...
Glad this sorted out your problem. Thanks for watching.
Just wanted to say thanks for the very informative, clear and helpful video. You kept me from having a breakdown. Your instructions worked perfectly.
Reg edit never worked for me... but your video did the trick.
Many thanks, man!!
Cheers!
Happy days and congratulations your fix. Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for the tip. A couple of questions though:
1) Can I delete the .bak registry entry afterwards IF this procedure works?
2) Should I do this procedure in Safe Mode regardless if I get the message that the User Profile Service failed?
Thanks in advance.
Jose Lorico Do not delete the key after the fix and yes you can proceed in safe mode even with that message. Good luck!
Thank you so much! The first solution worked for me without being logged on safe mode. May I ask how did this problem happen in the first place? It's pretty spooky when I first saw it.
old comment but did you force shut down your computer?
What if there is no .bak after the binary numbers? All profiles on this particular training machine lack the .bak identifier.
Your first fix worked like a charm. Thank you. I was starting to be incredibly upset over this :)
Reyavie Well done on your fix and thanks for watching.
I don’t see ref count on my computer 😩
Your wizard guy saved my bacon
Why this problem occurs?? Suddenly
When your pc get shut downs suddenlt
After fixing the Profile from being in Temporary Profile Mode from the Profile Crash though, it would no longer delete the things inside it, when logging off, turning off the Computer, or restarting the Computer, etc.. Right?
thank u very much i had been surfering from so many days and a doubt that this would be again any problem like this
Abhinav Balhara Congratulations on your fix and thanks for watching.
Dude you're the best computer expert ever! Thx mate, God bless you!
Oh my God...... thanks a lot!! It's been days and I'm getting desperate in finding way to fix this problem. Thank you so much!!
Btw what probably caused this problem?? Is it because my Windows isn't installed perfectly? Is it safe to do these steps over again if (hopefully not) this happens in the future??
Thanks. Again.
Unfortuantely there are too many reasons why this could of happened. Glad to hear your computer is back on the road and thanks for watching.
I have a TOSHIBA and I just restarted the pc and it was fixed, I don't know if I was like or not but it worked :D
Thank u man!!! You're a genius, the world needs people like u.
Much appreciated.
alwaysafix Thank you for providing a meaningful video. However, I don't know why I have followed your second method, the computer doesn't allow me to enter user2. It keeps forcing me to log in with the original user, I can't manage to make another user to restore my original desktop setting. Is my computer getting totally out of order? Looking forward to your reply.
Run a checkdisk to check that the hard disk is healthy. Good luck!
i tried this and it did not work and now I'm at a challenging situation. alwaysafix if you can please see if you have any suggestions, it would mean the world to me.
I tried addressing the registry using "regedit" to go into the "Profile List" and remove the .bak from the original profile and rename the temporary profile with the .bak. After I set the "State" to "0" and the "RefCount" to "0", I restarted to see if it recovered my Profile but it didn't work. Then I tried a "System Restore" and I successfully restored to earlier that day BUT the settings of the Temporary Profile were kept. I was no longer using a Temporary Profile but the settings and Profile was still blank as if it was a temporary. As of now, I can see in my "D: Drive" that my old Desktop and its data is still there, but the one that is showing is the one that showed up as a temporary desktop. All my settings are gone in Google Chrome, my Start Screen, My Desktop Background, and Taskbar etc.
Is there a way to fix the registry so it shows the original Desktop instead of the "Temporary" desktop? If I look into my "D: Drive" and inside the "Desktop" folder, all my original shortcuts and files are there. I just need to make the original profile visible and load the original desktop instead of this Temporary Desktop.
I was thinking maybe undo-ing the System restore as I am no longer loading a temporary profile but the temporary profile settings are still showing up. I find that risky and look to you for any registry know-how that may solve this issue?
Can you help. I tried the first part of your video to the letter and now I can't log in at all and it's the administration profile any ideas.
Kieran Druce Create a new user with administrator privileges and then you can move data from the previous user account to the new one and then delete the damaged user account. Good luck.
I AM AN ABSOLUTE BONEHEAD. I renamed the damn profile, no wonder it didn't work, it was looking for a non-existing profile.
When you switch on the computer and it still logs onto a temporary profile try the fix in the second half of the video.
i dont know but i am not able to see ref count pls reply
So I followed the comment to get back in, in safe mode, did what commented said. Restarted and still no recovery! WTH?? I could see my old desktop in safe mode but not after process and restart. Help!
Plz help me, i changed ____ .bak ,
I restart and i see (The user profile service failed the legon,user profile cannot be loaded.) What i do
Guys Important Message

So If It Dodn't Work Just
On Off Pc for 2 or 3 Times
Then The Option Will Come
Launch Startup Repair!
After Doing Click Restore
Then It Will Take 10 to 15 minutes
And It Will Say Finish
CLick Finish And Enjoy !
The Old Profile Again!!!!
Thank Me LATER!
I've done the second method and im using a new account now. I've transferred all files. But my google chrome bookmarks are gone.. Any way to recover them? Also right click mouse kinda has a 5 second delay
Is mine completely corrupted? I can't seem to find it in C Drive/Users and when I go to regedit it just shows the .bak version only... It used to show the other one but then I restarted the laptop because that did not work... I'm so confused lol
Hello, I have the same problem right now and I followed exactly what you did in this video, but when I tried to restart it I cannot access to any of my profile now I cannot use to Computer Do you know how to solve the problem please help me
Hi @alwaysafix . Do you have a fix for windows 10? I've tried the .bak method , but i am stuck when there is no Refcount folder available at the renamed ones.
+Gordon Yuen Follow the instructions in the second part of the video, create a new user profile, copy over your files and delete the damaged profile.
Thank You so much, damn it’s actually the first time I leave a comment on a tutorial 🔥
@alwaysafix Thank you so so much for this video, I still cannot believe that I managed to get my profile back. I thought I had lost everything and got very upset about it. Then I decided to give your video a try on TH-cam and I am so releived.. I can breathe again haha..
Happy days and glad to be of help. Thanks for watching.
I've tried it but it doesn't work and i can't even log in. It said "the user profile service failed the sign in. User profile cannot be loaded" what should i do now?
Have you tried safe mode? Good luck!
i've had a temporary profile in my main account for a few months and i just wanna know if this will also restore my data and files when i perform it. will it?
No.. It is not possible
Hi tried your fix on the registry editor, done it exactly how you showed on the video but now when i try to sign in i get the "user profiler service cannot start" or whatever it is and ive tried refreshing and restoring windows but both cant complete due to errors, help me out please, cant log into my laptop at all now and im using an old laptop to write this message.
tried it in safe mode too but still cant log in on safe mode
Jordan Kay If restore is giving you errors, it could be pointing to a bad hard disk. You need to remove it and run diagnostics. Good luck!
i enabled built in administrator account via the cmd by enabling the windows 8 tools by clicking restart while holding down the start key from the log on screen then i could log into the built in admin account and make the nessecary changes on reg edit to get my account back.
I did as followed & this was the result after i logged-in;
*" The user profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded "*
I also did manage to create another profile with administrative authority but after logging in, it goes to a "temporary windows profile" ....
Any solutions?
Yusuf Omar From the temporary profile create a new user with administrator privileges and then you can move data from the previous user account to the new one and then delete the damaged user account. Good luck.
Can you please how did you make another profile, as i am stuck & can't log on anymore after doing the changes shown in the video. Plz help!
The regedit does not work for me. I can view my files in safe mode. Should I change the regedit in safe mode?
alwaysafix is it possible to obtain pictures that were saved on the temporary users desktop when you are back to normal users desktop?
ex20000 Go to C: then users, there you will find a folder with all the user data that exists on your computer. Check and go through them all. Good luck!
Safe mode by f8 not working it says press esc for startup? What should I do?
and also it says it will delete the files that you have created on the temporary profile. doesn't it mean it will add missing ones meaning it will add itslef again
No, it just means that anything you do in the temporary profile will not be saved.
I followed the first step but when I restarted to log back in it said "The user profile Service service has failed to sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded"
You have to start the computer with a Windows CD and then select repair computer. Good luck!
Do you consider also the step on pressing the key F8 repeatedly on restarting and going on safe mode.
Thank you very much, you helped me a lot, but if I opened this new user I deleted all my files on my computer? Thank you
If you create a new user, your files from previous users will not be affected, only if you run a factory restore can you lose your data. Thanks for watching.
Um so I tried doing the .bak thing when I restarted my computer it didn't work, I checked the regedit and then checked the profiles and the .bak was the temp file and there was no file to my actual file of my .bak with my old profile, is there anyway to get it back??? Please help
When I try to switch the .bak, it doesn't allow me to rename the folders. Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you thank you thank you! this saved my bacon tonight. User logged back in after a reboot with all her data in tact. THANKS!
Happy days and congratulations on your fix. Thanks for watching.
hi I had the same problem thank you it worked out great but now I cant download any games for free like I used too and when I do the box that you get to allow you to install shows ??? any idea what I can do to fix this if possible show in a video so I can go step by step
Looks like you have a problem unrelated to this video. I suggest a fresh search for the solution to your new problem. Good luck!
Thank you! You saved me a headache! I used the first method that you suggested. Can I delete the "new" .bak file?
hangarflying Leave the files as they are just incase something goes wrong. Thanks for watching.
I recently updated to Windows 10 and right after finishing, I was logged on to a temporary profile. Without realizing this, I moved all my backed up files to this profile... then I restarted my computer then lost all the files I put in that Temporary profile, is there any way for me to recover this?
+Matt Perez Go to C Drive folder Users and check all the profiles in that folder. That's all I can think of. Good luck!
It worked but then it gave me the "The Group Policy Client service failed the logon. Access is denied" when I rebooted. I tried going into safe mode but it only pulls up a new logon screen for a moment then reboots to the original logon screen. HELP!
jeffinillinois Try and boot from the Windows Install disk, select repair your computer and then try a system restore to a few days back before you had the problem. Good luck!
Everytime i download a game the second i restart my pc it gets deleted, would this be a temporary profile problem?
Hi, What will happen if after renaming it, we just delete the folder that we do not need?
No, leave it as it is. Good luck!
Do I need to be on safe mode for method one? I did it on safe mode and when i log off, my files were back but I was still in safe mode. So I restarted, but then the problem comes back.
Having this problem except in my case this is a work computer and multiple users on our domain log into it. There are a LOT more than just two profiles. I have found the one for the "problem" user and it ends with .bak but there isn't one for her that does NOT have .bak
do you know why i cant rename it?
This message started coming out in the screen. I can't log in "unauthorized change was made to windows. Windows has discovered a change that will result a limited windows functionality " can you help please
