Windows 10: User Profile Service Service failed! User profile cannot be loaded.

Vince,

Yes, that means that you could boot from the USB or DVD created from the ISO file to open a command prompt at boot. This command prompt will be outside of Windows to avoid in "in use" issues. *Smile

Personally, I prefer USB since it's faster, more flexible, and more reliable than a DVD. However, either will work though.

 

Great to see that reply!

i will bring my ISO DVD with me tomorrow, just to use daughter's laptop DVD reader to view what is on the DVD. I need something to do while grandkids do their own thing on their iPads, etc.!

 

Please let us know how it went.

 

I do not use a Virtual Box machine or such VirtueBox (free) software. Have not seen the screen as shown in example for Option One.

Does the ISO file that I made at time of doing the auto-upgrade to W10 serve as "installation media"?

on Wednesday I will have access to a W8 laptop, and hopefully will be able to burn DVDs to generate "installation media". I might request borrowing that laptop....

 

Yes, you can use the ISO to create a DVD or USB with.

 

Brink:

I have the ISO DVD in drive D on my machine. From an Off condition, will the machine boot from drive D, rather than looking first at drive C? It seems not to be looking at D.
i have tried this several times w/o success.
Or, do you mean that I must use the ISO to create DVD or USB installation media? How do I create it?

 

No, the PC will not automatically boot from the DVD.

See if you may be able to boot to advanced startup, select "Use a device", and select to boot from the DVD or USB.

Brink:
I am attempting to boot from the ESD-ISO DVD. Not certain that I will be able to repeat!

at present I have on screen:
Open window title.
Look in: CD Drive (D*Smile ESD-ISO

I am able to see list of files, which include folders with names of: boot, efi, sources, and support. The only application file name shown in root directory is: setup.

Clicking on setup did nothing, other than exit this window listing!
There is also an auto run file in the root; does nothing; exits window!

Any ideas?

Are you able to boot from a Windows 10 USB?

No, I do not presently have a 4GB USB flash drive, nor access to a real computer.
unless a Crome Netbook (CB3-111-C8UB), which does have a USB port, can be of some use? But I know nothing about its OS,

OK, I will get a suitable USB drive on Tuesday evening at COSTCO, and try again with daughter's Win8 laptop on Wednesday.

Brink:

I am uncertain that this is correct file, which I now have on a USB flash drive, for me to use. It's size is only 19,272 KB.

Am I to run it on my daughter's laptop, or is this file to be used on my broken PC?

 

You would want use the USB on your PC to be able to do the steps to hopefully fix your PC.

 

Ok, I am now d/l'ing to the flash drive, using my daughter's laptop. When I get back home, hopefully It will help to fix the Dell PC.

7% complete now!

 

I believe I now have a Win10 USB!

Since I cannot sign onto my DELL PC, would a Recovery USB flash drive be of any use to me? (Remember, user profile service failed at sign on). I believe a recovery drive must be created when my PC is working properly, right?


I have access to a working Win8 laptop once per week only. Today I have my external USB HDD and also one remaining 32GB flash drive with me. Any suggestions for what to d/l onto that External HDD or flash drive from the Internet?

That's ok. You can boot from the Windows 10 USB on your PC to open a built-in Administrator account to sign in to and do the rest of the steps in the tutorial below.
