Windows 10: upgraded Windows 10 various problems creating new users

I finally accepted the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on an old computer. That went really well, so I created some Microsoft accounts for the other users, planning to add them. But, there's a few problems.


When I add the new Microsoft accounts, it silently fails. They show up in the "net use" list, but not on the sign-in list, and no folder is created in "C:\Users\". If I try to add them again, it says they already exist.


I read a tip to rename "C:\Users\Default\", but that didn't help. A new default was created, though.


I ran the long DISM repair command, that finished. Then sfc /scannow which found errors and fixed them. A second run found no problems.


I tried adding again, but same issue as before.


Then I tried adding a new user via "Computer Management", "Local Users and Computers". It didn't create a "C:\Users\username" folder, and it didn't show up in the settings list, but it did show up in the login screen along with the others. When tried to signed in, the "User Profile Service failed the sign in" and it returns to the login screen. But now, the other users both old accounts that were converted to Microsoft accounts are unavailable. Even after rebooting, only this user is listed and of course cannot login.


Fortunately, holding down Shift and restarting the PC allowed me to use System Restore, to before the user was created. But if I add them again, the same issue occurs.


I'd like to repair Windows to the point I can add new users.

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:

• Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
• Try different keyboard or mouse.
• Restart computer, repeatedly.
• Google for related issues.
• Update Bios, because why not.
• Create boot media and revert to windows 7.

The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

i've seen this when the stock USB drivers went kaput. Only ever seen it once - i used a PCI USB 2.0 card and connected the mouse and keyboard to that, and manually updated the USB 2/USB 3 drivers.

Corrupt User Profiles are common in Windows, especially after the upgrade from Windows 8.1/7 to Windows 10, and various solutions for this problem could be applied, depending on the situation and error message you receive. Users say that user profile can

Follow these workaround to create a new user profile.

• Restart your computer, and login to the admin account again (it’s better to use this account, than account you just created)

• Open your corrupted user profile and copy content form it to your new user profile
• Once everything is done, logout from your admin account, and log back in to the new account, and your settings should be transferred.

Also, check if you enabling hidden admin account will resolve the issue. Follow the steps provided below.

  Safe Mode.

• You should get “The command completed successfully” message. Reboot your computer.

You have activated the admin account, and it will be available to login on the next boot. So, when your computer starts, just login into the admin account and follow the steps below, to create a new user profile:

• Go to Settings, and then to Accounts

• Click on Add someone else to this computer

We hope this solution helped you to restore your user profile.
