User profile cannot be loaded.I wasn't really sure what happened and after realising its not working I went ahead and tried resetting it again this time observing what was going on.

  3. 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 Profiles location changed with Window 10 upgrade


    Tutorial: Users Folder - Move Location in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
    • The second part, titled Method Two, explains how to workaround the Start and Search issue when relocating Users on an existing system
    • The third part, titled Upgrade, explains how to upgrade from Windows 7 with relocated users folder

    Better were to back up the user data to external storage and wipe the disk, use Method One in above mentioned tutorial to clean install Windows 10 relocating the Users folder, then copy user data from external backup to new user folders.
