Windows 10: Can't Switch login accounts; gives error

Hello!

I recently purchased a lenovo aio computer. After allowing it to do all the updates, I wanted to add my daughter and another family member as users. I made their profiles and now when I try to login under their names it says " The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded." I can still login under my name with no problem. I have searched the internet and tried modifying the registry as seems to be the standard protocol and that doesn't work. I've tried enabling users as admins instead of standard users. Tried adding and deleting them. And I did the bulk of this in safe mode. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works. I really need separate user accounts so I can setup a separate account and install web filtering tools, etc. Only thing I can think of is to try and do a system reinstall from the control panel or perhaps use media creator to create a boot dvd and install a clean version without all the lenovo bloatware. I would rather not do that though. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.


Forgot to mention that I am doing this as a local account...not using a ms login email

:)

 

I'm having trouble signing into my Microsoft account on my mobile phone.

can't login to my Microsoft account from my mobile phone. It gives me an error code:80070057

 

Can't not switch back to local account!

Hi,

Yesterday my laptop received new Windows 10 update and need to reboot, after that I couldn't login with fingerprint!

when try to login with password, noticed that Microsoft account is the login method!

after login I tried reconfigur the account back to local account, but never succeed!

Everytime I type in the new password, it gives me the error:

"The password you entered isn't complex enough to meet this PC's requirements. Please go back and try password that contains numbers, letters, and symbols."

What ever or how ever the password I type is so complex, I still get this error and can't switch back to local account!!!

What is wrong here?

Any help or suggestion please.

Thank you in advance.

 

Hi win10n00b

If you do an in-place repair upgrade it will keep your files. I assume the other two accounts don't have files.

I also read that this could be caused by a corrupt default user. As such I would delete their ids and I would rename the default user folder to something like default.old. My thinking is this will cause Windows to recreate. (when I searched your error there were documents that talked to how to create a new default. You may wish to explore this as well.)

I would then do the in-place repair / upgrade. Please note this will take you up to the Creators Update. As such before doing any of this I would recommend that you create an Image with Macrium Reflect. (Info within tutorials.) I would also have a backup of your data. Likely won't need either but better to have than wish you had.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Note warning in tutorial. You likely need 8GB USB key for media creator.
