  1. Windows 11 - "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is not available...."...


    I rebooted my laptop last night and now have error message "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is not available...." When I attempt to enter my passcode, it is immediately reject with error "the user p[rofile service service failed the sign-in. user profile cannot be loaded." I have run sfc /scannow, chkdsk E: /f /r, and more I tried to boot into safemode, but I can only access the Recycle bin. I can get into File Explorer for a few seconds but then kicked out. Right click does not work. I cannot access CMD from safemode, no option for safemode with command prompt. System

    :)

    Why were some of my desktop elements in C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\

    Hello Greg,

    my desktop is fine, but avira keeps saying, that there have been files at C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\, but it cant be found.

    It list some folder, which I moved, renamed or deleteted instead. But how?

    Yesterday I tested something. I renamed a folder on my desktop and run a scan with avira. Now avira finds another folder in C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\. It is the folder I renamed before I started the scan, with its old folder name.

    Is this a caused do the rename?

    The other paths which avira foud in C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\ were deleted months ago. Why is avira still findig this entrys?

  3. C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is unavailable error on Windows 10

    Hello Vik,

    This C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is unavailable error may occur due to corrupt or missing Windows files.

    To troubleshoot the issue, you can follow these simple steps:

    • Open File Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile and check if it has the
      Desktop folder there.
    • If the Desktop folder does not exist, then create a new folder and rename it as
      Desktop or copy it from C:\users\Default\Desktop.

    Note: By default, C:\Users\Default is hidden. To unhide click on the View tab and check the
    Hidden Items box.

    After you have created the folder, it is required that you give full permission to the folder. You can follow these steps to give full permission:

    • Right click on the folder, select Properties then click on the Security tab.
    • Click on Edit.
    • On the Permissions for Desktop window, select Everyone and then click on
      Add.
    • In the Enter the object names to select dialog box, type
      Everyone
      and click on Check Names.
    • Click OK.

    If you need further assistance, let us know.
