I've upgraded my desktop system from XP to Vista then to Win 7 Home Premium and now have the infamous User.V2 profile which I would like to get rid of. I've searched for information on how to do this but all of the information I've found is way above my pay grade.
1) Is it OK to remove the User.V2 profile?
2) Simple, but complete, step-by-step instructions on how to to remove it?
This is a home system, I share some files with a Win 7 laptop via a wireless home network but do not connect to any other networks.
when i try to create a new user profile ~ with or without a password, it shows up on the main login page, but when i click on it to open, the message "UserProfileService_service failed the logon_user profile cannot be loaded". i have searched microsoft support with little solutions listed. and the ones that are listed seem too technical for me to be trying on my own. there are many posts there with this problem, but they all seem to be several years old.
i am using windows 7. i have never been able to create any accounts other than my administrator account & the one account i use for all my general computer use. i have been using norton 360 with no problems. i have resorted to just using any "log in/log out' links on all the sites my husband wants to use.i am really not all that confident doing anything super technical to fix this, since i don't have a real understanding of different extensions or types of files. i am afraid i could really mess everything up really bad. but, it would just be SO MUCH EASIER & FASTER if i had my account & my husband had his own account.
My wife's Dell desktop (after a nighttime thunderstorm) will not permit her to log on. When she enters the password she gets the following message: "The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded". Has anyone encountered this issue and is there a user fix, or should we take the computer back to where it was bought for service?
I changed the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList in order to move the default user locations to my second partition. I then created a new user profile but when I try to login I get the message 'The User Profile Service failed the login'. When I set these values back to normal, new accounts work fine but I really want my user accounts on the second partition.
I am a lab technician for Microsoft classes at a community college. One of our students somehow messed up his hard drive. The computer is running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit. The system has two administrator accounts and one standard user account. I am still able to logon with those accounts and there are SID keys for each of these users in the registry.
Now when we create a new user, the account is created without any problems. The user shows up on the logon page and after running the net user command, it shows up there as well. When I try to logon with the new user, I get a message: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
None of the new user accounts show up in the registry. The other anomaly that I see is that the Default User folder is missing in each of the Users subdirectory for the three accounts where I have no problems.
I have read the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 947215 and none of the methods apply to my problem. I also checked Local Group Policies and the Do not logon users with temporary profiles setting is not configured.
A twist on the creation of user folders on a drive other than C: in Win 7 Ultimate. Does anyone know if one could designate a user folder location such as E:Data instead of using the users name and being a subdirectory of "Users". I am the ONLY one on my computer - and it would seem much easier to look to the top folder in the E drive than clicking thru E:, users, name, documents, project. I fully realize that I can set up shortcuts, but when you are in an application that wants to place a file somewhere else and presents you with an explorer windows it is a pain. The only method I thought of is using redirection with symbolic links.
I cannot log on to either of the accounts on my HP laptop running Windows 7. I get a message saying " The User Profile service failed the logon" User Profile cannot be loaded. I cannot procedd any further with loading up.
I had to restore my computer. After I did so and it went through the new setup, I supplied a new password. When I went to logon, it accepted my password but then at the next screen, iit read:The User Service service [sic] failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
I've already stumbled onto an issue with a users's profile and am trying to apply what I would typically do in XP to Windows 7 but it's stuck on wanting to load the Temporary profile for this user. So as a novice of this sort, how can I recreate a users profile?
Windows 7 Home premium. I have done everything I can think of and am stumped. The old XP way of creating the new user account,logging into it to create a profile, then copying one profile to another doesn't work. Perhaps there is a good reason. In desperation I even enabled the built in administrator account in cmd prompt and logged on as that user. But the copy area is still greyed out.
I was just in Windows Explorer, planning to modify my Startup programs. Navigated to "C:/ Windows7_OS / Users" and right-clicked on my User Profile "Bill". From the right-click menu, I selected "Properties", and then on the "General" tab, there is a checkbox under Attributes called "Hidden". I thought, "oh great, I will check this and then I will be able to see all of my hidden files".I selected "Hidden", and clicked "Apply".Now my User Profile "Bill" is hidden, and I cannot figure out how to unhide it. Everything associated with my User Profile is now hidden application shortcuts, My Favorites, etc.Can anyone tell me how to "Un-Hide" my User Profile?
I just purchased my new (to me) HP laptop, a former demo unit at the local wal mart, and went through the motions of setting up the system.course, that sticks me with the user name brenda. I've tried to copy the user folder contents to a new account, but some of the files are access protected (even from the owning user, I checked).not really to far in to start fresh, but I absolutly hate having to redo all that work cause of one little (really should be easy to fix) issue
I have Windows 7 installed and I need to migrate everything from 1 user to another on the same machine. I looked at the easy migrate tool, but it seems to only work if 2 computers are connected to migrate from 1 to another. Is there a way to be logged in to bothe old and new user at the same time to accomplish this?
I have also downloaded USMT with Windows AIK, but I have no idea where to start with this. I am not technologically savvy at all, so I am having a hard time even knowng where to start.
Windows Easy Transfer doesn't work the way I think it should. After completing the Transfer Windows itself takes on a similar look to the original configuration, but the settings that I most desire to migrate are left behind. I'm talking about all the little tweaks to the registry, stuff like mousehoveractivate, tootip delay times, etc. The stuff that is transfered seems aimed more towards applications. Is there something I'm missing? Perhaps there is a way to get the tweaks straight from the registry and transfer them that way?
Logging in to the PC profile won't load the usual settings and programs.This occurred after changing the PC from a workgroup to a domain and back to a workgroup after the domain failed to connect to Windows SBS 2008 R2.
My computer will not allow me to log on because it cannot find my user profile. Is this a serious error or something that a computer person could fix quickly and easily?
When trying to log on as Administrator, computer apparently does not recognize password. I get messages, "The User Profile Service service failed the logon" and "User profile cannot be loaded".
My computer after I type in my password to log in says that my user profile cant be updated. I can access it in safe mode which I am currently on. I have already installed malware bytes and run it in addition to combo fix. Maybe I did something wrong while using either of those programs and they did work correctly but nothing has changed.
Just had error report " user profile service service failed the login User profile cannot be loaded" on a longstanding Standard User Account. Password entered was OK and no other Accounts giving any probs.
I created a new User but when trying to logon the following message appears:"The User Profile Service failed the logon.User profile cannot be loaded"I have tried both Administrator and Guest account types
doing a domain change over and all the client machines are windows 7 and we are moving them from a server 2003 domain to 2011 domain. i have been testing this on some dummy profiles on my laptop which is attached to the new server domain and normally to make a profile change over easier you could "hack" the registery keys by changing the profile target inside the key.in win xp for example i would have gone to regedit key_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowsntcurrentversionprofilelistand then copied the original domain profilefor example: profile a's (old domain) profileimagepath key data would be copied to profile b's (the new domain)but now in windows 7 there is of course the added security etc. so its not that simple, because when i do attempt to login to that profile after a full restart it will login to the temp profile and give the there was a problem and you have been given a temporary profile error.
I get the message "The user profile Service failed the log on. User profile cannot be loaded" This is for the Administrator account. I can logon successfully as the standard user but cannot change the Administrators account or delete it and create a new one. What are my options. Do I need to reinstall Windows? Hope there is another way, like a repair process. This is on a Dell laptop as a stand alone machine (no network logon) Windows 7 Home 32bit.
This is the situation, basically my laptop just died but the hrd drive is fine so i added it to my desktop and everything is fine and i can acess all the files but i was wondering if there was any way to add the user from my laptop to the login on my desktop and if so how?
I have a laptop with an SSD + a HDD. When I installed it, I installed to C: (SSD) but set up Users and PRogramData to be in the D drive. This morning, the connector on the HDD slipped and I booted it with out the D drive connected. Evidently I turned off System Retstore at some point (probably to perform a large installation) and then forgot to turn it back on.
I am used to setting up xp machines where i would log in as myself and make all of the desktop, network and shell changes and copy my profile over top of the default user profile. this would ensure that any user logging into the computer for the first time would have the setup I want them to have so they can start working right away.Is there a tutorial on how to do this on windows 7?
I am experiencing an issue with a single user where here user profile is not created properly. When launching IE9 it opens/shuts and when opening an explorer window from the dock it displays a warning message indicated that not all drives were mounted.This machine is running Windows 7 64 bit and is connected to a domain. Other domain users work. This user has attempted logging onto multiple machines running Windows 7 with the same results.
my windows 7 PC have no administrator account, i did try to active to this method "cmd, run administrator ,net user administrator /active :yes. that time become this error system error 5 has.
I know that it's possible because I know my profile and files at work are on server somewhere allowing you to login at any machine. Is it difficult to configure all user's profile and folders (Documents Pictures ect.) to be created on another drive or partition? I know I can just create new folders with these name and store my files on another drive ( that's what I have done for years).
This means I have to ignore the folders designed for my account. Even doing it this way programs by default drop stuff in the default folders. I want to create a lean C: drive. I assume this is a registry edit. I am getting ready to clean install WIN7 PRO. If this is possible can anyone tell me how?
When I boot up I get to the sign in page .When I sign in I get the message: User Profile Service Failed To Logon and things go round in a loop, I can't get to the Start Menu.
i got a new hp pavilion laptop; os is windows 7 home premium 64-bit. when i booted it up the first time, there was already an administrator account on it, bearing the name of the company who had sent me the laptop. i renamed the user account and the computer to my name; but the paths connected to the user profile and the user profile itself (under "users" on the c drive) still have the old name. i did some reading and it seems that one has to rename the account back to the old name, then create a new administrator account with the name one wants and transfer the profile from the old account to the new one, then delete the old account if everything is working well; however, i believe that these instructions are rather for windows xp than for windows 7, and i have no idea how to copy a profile. i am not a computer geek and cannot fiddle around with the registry, and how can i rename the profile paths and my profile folder to MY name - or is it impossible to change, and will i just have to live with it? i also hope that if the situation cannot be changed, then this is simply a cosmetic 'bug' and won't cause any problems.
