    My daughter got this message when she tried to login on the laptop. Then several more attempts at login also failed.


    I then logged in as administrator and checked to see if the profile folders, files, and NTUSER.DAT file were there. All OK.


    I tried a few things to get the login to work without success.


    Then following some online advice I started to delete my daughter's folders in her profile whilst logged in the admin account.


    I cancelled the delete midway because I'd forgotten to backup the folders first.



    Now when I tried to login to her account the usual way using the PIN a message said 'unavailable at this time' or something similar and asked for the password instead. I could login with the password but not the PIN and the folders in the profile were gone but the NTUSER.DAT file was still there.




    After logging out and on logging back in again I noticed a second, new account was now available to log into with the same password. The same user name but with text added on like this ‘username. LAPTOP-MA30I5M7’. This profile had none of the original files and folders and the folders were empty.



    Now Microsoft account only lists this second, new account, but there are no parental controls. A message on family page says



    ‘Your child needs to sign in to their Windows 10 device LAPTOP-MA30I5M7 for family features to work.’



    Yet she has been signing in for a couple of weeks now and time limits are not working




    Two questions:


    1. How do I get parental controls to start working again and


    2. Is it possible to get the original profile folders and files back (I didn’t set up a restore point I’m afraid)





    Since I knew the date and time of the original failed login I looked through the events logs


    To see what was recorded about the login fail.





    These examples were taken from the User Profile Service/Operational logs:


    Level Date and Time Source Event ID Task Category


    Error 04/11/2019 06:34:56 Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service 1502 None "Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile.

    This example was taken from the Winlogon log 10 minutes later:

    This example after I deleted most of the profile folders:





    Error 04/11/2019 13:04:51 Microsoft-Windows-User Profiles Service 1542 None "Windows cannot load classes registry file.


    DETAIL - The system cannot find the file specified.

  2. 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,
