Windows 10: Windows Home fails creating a specific user's directory and the corresponding files when...

Hi,


I have Window home and aw local user with administrative rights.


When creating a new user, no file for that new user appear in c:\users, even though this new user appears in the "users" subdirectory of the "Control Panel" . When this new user clicks on "Change my environment variables", all what he sees is the directory and path of the first person who eventually started the computer for the first time. The files and configurations of this new user seem actually located and mixed in the user's directory of this first user.

Thus, Windows did not create a new subdirectory for this new user. The computer was restarted hping that this would force Windows to create the new user's directory in c;\:users but it did not...


Is this a normal behavior of Windows Home or do I need to correct something ?


Please, note that I have checked that all hidden files are visible so, my problem is NOT due to the fact that the files I'm looking for are simply hidden.


Any suggestion ?

:)

 

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
