That exact message:
**“The User Profile Service failed the sign‑in. User profile cannot be loaded.”**
means Windows **cannot read your user profile folder**, usually because:
- The profile is corrupted
- The profile registry settings are damaged
- Windows created a temporary profile
- The NTUSER.DAT file is locked or damaged
Here are the **proven fixes**, starting from easiest to advanced.
---
# ✅ QUICK FIXES (try these first)
## 1. Restart the computer (full restart)
Do **Shift + Restart** → Continue.
This forces Windows to reload profile services.
Many times, this error is temporary.
---
## 2. Boot into Safe Mode, then reboot normally
1. Hold **Shift** → click **Restart**
2. Troubleshoot
3. Advanced options
4. Startup Settings
5. Press **4** for Safe Mode
Log in → restart → log in normally.
If still broken, go to Fix 3.

# ? MAIN FIX (works in most cases)
## 3. Fix the corrupted profile using the Registry
If you're comfortable editing the registry, follow this.
### Step 1 — Open Registry Editor
1. Press **Win + R**, type `regedit`, enter.
2. Navigate to:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
```
### Step 2 — Look for profile keys with `.bak`
You will see keys like:
- `S-1-5-21-…-1001`
- `S-1-5-21-…-1001.bak`
This means Windows tried to load your profile but failed.
### Step 3 — Repair them
If two keys exist:
1. Rename the one **without** `.bak` → add `.temp` at the end.
2. Rename the `.bak` one → remove `.bak`.
3. Click the corrected key and fix values:
- `RefCount` → set to **0** (double-click to change)
- `State` → set to **0**
### Step 4 — Close Registry Editor and restart
Log in again — your profile should load normally.

# ? FIX 4 — Check disk for corruption
A damaged profile often comes from disk errors.
1. Open Command Prompt (Admin)
2. Run:
```
chkdsk C: /f /r
```
Restart and let it scan.
---
# ? FIX 5 — Create a new user profile
If the original profile cannot be recovered:
1. Boot into Safe Mode
2. Go to:
Settings → Accounts → Family & other users
3. Create a new local/Microsoft account
4. Restart
5. Copy your files from:
```
C:\Users\OldUserName
```
This permanently bypasses the corrupted profile.
---
# ? FIX 6 — Restore your system (if this started recently)
1. Boot with **Shift + Restart**
2. Troubleshoot
3. System Restore
4. Choose a restore point from before the problem
---
# ? To help you faster
Tell me these:
1. Can you log into **any** account (admin or not)?
2. Does your user folder still appear here:
`C:\Users\YourUserName`
3. Did this start after an update, crash, or forced shutdown?
With those answers, I can give you the exact steps tailored to your case.
