The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

How to Fix the Error "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded."

information   Information
When you log on to Vista or Windows 7 using a temporary profile (user account), you receive this error message:

The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

For more information, see:
Error message when you log on to a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7-based computer by using a temporary profile: "The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded"
Note   Note
CAUSE:

The jury is still out on the exact cause, but so far :
  • This issue may occur if the user profile was manually deleted by using the command prompt or Windows Explorer by a user or by some program. A profile that is manually deleted does not remove the security identifier (SID) from the user profile list in the registry. Since the SID is still present, Vista will still try to load the profile by using the ProfileImagePath that points to a nonexistent path. Therefore, the profile cannot be loaded.
  • This can also be a issue with the user profile entering into a backup state.
  • Manually renaming the C:\Users\(User Name) user profile folder.
warning   Warning
If you have this error message below instead, then see: How to Fix the Error "Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile." in Vista

Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.

Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off. Please see the event log for details or contact your administrator.

Tip   Tip
If the steps in the tutorial below do not help or you wish to try this first, then:




STEP ONE
Log on to the Computer
warning   Warning
You must be logged on to an administrator account using either step 1 or 2 below before you can move on to do either the OPTION ONE or OPTION TWO sections.

1. To Log on to another Administrator account.
NOTE: If you do not have another Administrator account, then proceed to step 2.​
A) Go to OPTION ONE or OPTION TWO.​

OR
2. To Boot into Safe Mode and Use the built-in Administrator account
NOTE: You may not need to enable the built-in Administrator account. If this was the only normal administrator account you had, then Safe Mode should automatically boot into the built-in Administrator account.​
Tip   Tip
If you cannot boot into Windows and do not have a Windows installation DVD, then you can create and use the boot disc below to boot into Safe Mode with instead.
Tip   Tip

Windows 7: (Option Two at link)
Vista: (Option One at link)

A) Boot into Safe Mode (in Vista) or Safe Mode (in Windows 7).​
B) If Safe Mode did not boot into the built-in Administrator account, then enable the built-in Administrator account. If it did, then go to step 2D.​
C) Log off in Safe Mode, and then log on to the built-in Administrator account to logon with that account in Safe Mode.​
D) Go to OPTION ONE or OPTION TWO.​




OPTION ONE
To Fix the User Account Profile

1. Open the Start menu.​
2. In the white line (Start Search) area, type regedit and press Enter.​
3. If prompted by UAC, either click on Continue (Vista) or Yes (Windows 7).​
4. In regedit, go to: (See screenshot below step 5)​
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
5. In the left pane, look for the S-1-5..... folder (SID key) with the long number that has .bak at the end of the numbers.​
(See screenshots below steps 6A and 7B)​
NOTE:
A) In the right pane, look at the ProfileImagePath to verify that this is the user account profile that has the error.​
B) You may have another S-1-5..... folder (SID key) above it with the exact same number without the .bak at the end of it.​
6. If you have Two S-1-5..... folders (SID key) with the same Number
NOTE: This is if you have two S-1-5..... folders (SID key) with the exact same numbers, but the second (below) one has the .bak at the end of the numbers.​
A) In the left pane, right click on the first (top) S-1-5..... folder (SID key) that does not have .bak at the end of the numbers and click Rename. (See screenshot below)​
Repair.jpg

Repair_Reg2.jpg

11. Close regedit.​
12. Restart the computer.​
13. See if you can logon now.​
NOTE: If this still does not help, then either try OPTION TWO below or see the yellow TIP box at the top of the tutorial.​



OPTION TWO
To Delete the User Account and Create Another One

warning   Warning
You can do this option if you do not care about losing the user account and the contents in the user folders. Your programs will still be installed, but you will need to create new shortcuts for them afterwards.

1. Delete the User account profile that this error is for.​
2. Open the Start menu.​
3. In the white line (Start Search) area, type regedit and press Enter.​
4. If prompted by UAC, click on Continue (Vista) or Yes (Windows 7).​
5. In regedit, go to: (See screenshot below step 7)​
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
6. In the left pane, click on one of the S-1-5..... folders (SID key) with the long number in it.​
NOTE: It may have .bak at the end of it.​
A) In the right pane, look at the ProfileImagePath to see if this is the same user account that you deleted in step 1 above.​
B) Repeat step 6 until you find the one that you deleted in step 1 above.​
NOTE: If the user account is not here, then it has already been removed when deleted in step 1. Go to step 9.​

7. To Backup the Registry SID Key
WARNING: You should backup this SID key to be safe in case you delete the wrong one in step 8 below.​
A) Right click on the SID key, and click on Export.​
B) Type in a name and save the REG file to a safe location.​
NOTE: This is your backup. To Restore the Backup, right click on the REG backup file and click on Merge.​
C) Continue on to step 8.​
SID_Reg.jpg


8. To Delete the Registry SID Key
A) Right click on the SID key, and click on Delete. (See screenshot above)​

Confirm.jpg


9. Close regedit.​
10. Now, just create a new normal Administrator account.​
11. Restart the computer, and log on to your new account.​
NOTE: If this still does not help, then either try OPTION ONE above or see the yellow TIP box at the top of the tutorial.​
That's it,
Shawn

Hi

I had this problem in my Win7 program. It affected my only admin account and so was a real pain. Thanks to this post I was able to fix it by editing the registry in safe mode. Did not want to use system restore in case it did not work and I lost something that required permissions to replace. Your fix worked perfectly - a thousand thanks. I now have 2 admin accounts plus a standard one for everyday use.

after running Windows Update on 2/9 my laptop it became sluggish and unuseable. after reboot i got the Profile error. i was eventually able to make the registry changes but only after failing to get to regedit or even a C prompt in safe mode, then hard having to hard reboot (power switch) and using [ f8 ] key to get the "Repair your Computer" option (which wasnt there the time before). i ran the startup repair a couple times with one error, but after that i was able to get into safe mode to make the changes.
 

My Computer

Brink, I want to thank you for writting such terrific TUTORIALS! :D In the Foum I found 2 possible solutions to the subject problem. Hopefully,it'll be OK to mention both here.

“The User Profile service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded”.
I have VSITA-HOME-PREMIUM running on a DELL 1720 laptop.

When PC powers up, the following message is displayed on the welcome screen:
“The User Profile service failed the logon. User Profile cannot be loaded”.

This occurred on 2-12-2010. I’ve been running in SAFE-MODE {F8} ever since. Prior to 2-12, the PC has been OK.

Based on the tips in VISTA-FORUMS, I appear to have 2 options for solving this problem.
#1} SYSTEM RESTORE
#2} CORRECT USER-PROFILE IN THE REGISTRY

SYSTEM-RESTORE

  • The last time System-Restore was used was 2007-2008.
  • The System-Restore user-panel offers many dates to select from.
o One is for 2-12, at 5:50pm when the system performed a
SCHEDULED-CHECKPOINT.
oo This was the last day of full PC use. Actually, I stopped creating/updating
files at 7:50.
oo IS THIS BETTER THAN THE WINDOWS-UPDATE
option, below?? ??
o Another date offered is 2-11 at 12:04pm, when the PC installed a


WINDOWS-UPDATE.
  • I have the following questions:
{a} Will I be able to UNDO the changes, i.e., go back to
where it is now?? IS THAT TRUE?????
· Depending on where/what I read, I have seen statements that I can.
But they are NOT consistent.
{b} I read that DATA-FILES like this used in WORD, EXCEL, -
DREAMWEAVER, QUICKEN, etc are not affected.
IS THAT TRUE?????

NOTE: NO PROGRAMS NOR HARDWARE have been installed since
the beginning of the year.

EDIT USER-PROFILE IN REGISTRY {Using “REGEDIT” in START}

  • The current User-Profile-List shows the last TWO records are exactly alike, except the last one has a “.BAK” extension.
  • According to BRINK’S Tutorials, all I have to do is change the last record {which is the good one having the correct ProfileImagePath to “users”. This would be renamed without the extension.
  • The other record, the one with TEMP in the ProfileImagePath and without
“.BAK”, will be renamed with the extension.




MAJOR QUESTION
Which of the two approaches is better for me:
o SYSTEM-RESTORE??????????????
o EDIT USER-PROFILE?????????


Thanks, BRINK {"Shawn"}!!!

Hello Arcee, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Sorry for the late reply, but I missed your request in that wild font size.

Since the restore point is pretty far back, you might give editing the user profile in the registry a try first if you are comfortable doing so. If not, then try the system restore. However, with a older restore point, you will lose anything that was installed after that restore point date.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Shawn. I'm not sure where I should place my reply. I tried QUICK-REPLY, but submittlal gave me a blank.

HERE'S MY REPLY:
Thanks, Shawn.

I can still use the date of 2-12-2010 which was a Scheduled-CheckPoint. Also available, are 2-11 {Windows Update}, 2-10 {Scheduled-CheckPoint}, 2-10 {Windows Update}.

According to the System-Restore--CHOOSE-CHECKPOINT panel, all those dates are available, plus many more thru 1-31-2010. Are they really still AVAILABLE??

Which of the 2 is better? A DATE set by SCHEDULE-CHECKPOINT or by WINDOWS-UPDATE???

My last install was sometime in January. So any of those dates fit my needs.
If I don't like the results of a selected date, can I:
#1} UNDO the restore?
#2} Try again with another date?
#3} Still try editing the UserProfile in the Registry??

Thanks, again, Shawn for all your help!

I would say go with the restore point dated when you did not have this error to do a system restore with. :)

Hello Tommy, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Are you logged on as an administrator or on the built-in Administrator account in Safe Mode?

What is the exact error message that you got?

Thanks,

It's the admin account that shows the message and I'm not sure how to get to the built-in admin account. But I did reboot in Safe Mode.

Also, the error message said, "The Registry Editor cannot rename S-1-5... Error while renaming key.

Check step 2B in STEP ONE of this tutorial to see if you are able to log off in Safe Mode to then be able to log on the built-in "Administrator" account.

Yeah, I checked that. I just went into a normal user and it still said that I couldn't do it. It keeps giving me, "System Error 5 has occured. Access is denied."

Ah, that might be why. You would have to log on to another administrator account instead of a Standard account. If you are, then password protect it or change the password for that account to set it back as the default. Afterwards, try disabling the built-in Administrator accounr again to see if it will let you.
