BoJlk Jul 5, at am. Ya that is pretty much the exact same thing. They have more than 4 steps really, there are a couple bulleted items you still have to do. I included a little more due to some more in-depth troubleshooting. We know this works as we have done this hundreds of times.
Make sure you follow the directions very carefully. This works for Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. I have used this method several times and it works fine. However, I want to know the root cause of the issue. Why do I have several users per week with corrupted profiles? Any ideas? I totally agree with you Brad. I have seen this issue on and off since Never tracked down the exact cause. However, several users per week sounds like an excessive amount.

So like most say, open registry, goto hklmsoftwareMicrosoftwindows ntcurrent versionProfileList, then find the one labeled with. Not sure I can explain it a lot better, just double click the state key within the profile and just enter 0 in the field provided log off and u should be able to log back in to the old profile.
Thank you for these tips! Is is very very helpful! Can you please clarify me one point! Last year I bought Windows 10 at online store it was hardware. And the question is: Should this store, by my warranty, fix me such problems for free? I will be very thankful for your answer! I know this is an old discussion but I have a question.
Sorry, I got nothing on this, I usually support corporate editions, not sure how home editions are different. I am running Windows 7 Pro on my Del Optiplex I did the rename of the corrupt file, deleted the.
