Windows 10: How do I undo a factory reset? I keep getting "the User Profile Service service failed the...

Help! I thought I wanted to get rid of my desktop, so I did a factory reset. I then decided to keep it and want to try and do a screen without borders with my laptop, but I can no longer log into my desktop. It's an Dell Inspiron and is about 4 years old. When I turn on my computer, I see the same old login screen with my name but when I put in the correct pin, I get a blue screen that says "the User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be located." I read some other help topics answering this saying to hit the windows button + R or windows button + x but all it does

:)

 

The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded.

Hello,

When attempting to login to my computer, I get the following message:

"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in.

User profile cannot be loaded."

I referred to this Help article,You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error
message,

but the only difference is I only have one user profile on this computer. So, I can't login with another user to go through the steps listed in this post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

 

User Profile Service failed

To resolve your concern, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Copy the Default folder (in C:\Users) from another windows 10 computer.
• Rename the Default folder to something like DefaultOLD (just to keep it for safety reasons).
  
• Paste it in your Users folder.
• To make sure that you won't have problems with permissions of the "implant" folder, just transfer it via a FAT/FAT32 formatted USB stick (those filesystems don't have permissions).

This will provide solution to the error User Profile Service failed.

Let us know if you need more assistance.
