    create user fails windows 10

    Geoff,

    This is a shot in the dark.

    Several people have been reporting different problems logging in to newly created user accounts.

    • They just get a user profile service failed message instead of your symptoms.
    • Whilst their symptom is different, it occurs to me that the cause might be the same.
    • The common factor is that it affects newly-created user accounts that have never been successfully logged into.

    So, I suggest having a look at my explanations in Cannot create a new user account that can be login.

    In short -

    1 Try copying the NTUSER.DAT file from the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder of a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

    2 Try copying the whole [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group from a computer that does not exhibit the problem.

    3 Try recreating the [hidden] C:\Users\Default folder group using Kapil Arya's linked article.

    I have nothing other than a gut feeling to justify suggesting these steps,

    Best of luck,

    Denis

  3. Setting New Location Of User Folder to another User Folder

    Hi Renee,

    Having an easy access to the Desktop folder can give you a convenience on opening your files. Regarding your concern about the Desktop folder that was moved to the Downloads section, we recommend that you create a new local user or administrator account to
    resolve the issue.

    To create a local user or administrator account, follow the steps listed on this
    link
    .

    In addition, to move your files from the Downloads folder back to the Desktop folder, we suggest that you manually copy and paste the files to avoid any data loss.

    Feel free to post back if you need more help.
