    User Profile Service - default profile


    Has anyone come across this issue happening frequently lately ....

    In the past 3 weeks I must have had 20+ PC's / Laptops that have had the same problem (see image below)
    Although I know how to fix it and I have had it crop up before, I've never had it hit so many units in such a short space of time.
    I've browsed quite a bit to see if there is some sort of virus/malware that may be causing it but there doesn't seem to be anything out there that might be the culprit.

    I've scanned all the units for virus/malware and they all seemed to come up pretty clean. +15 of the units were win7 and +5 were win 8.

    Any clues would be most welcome

    Thanks guys ..... but as I said I know how to fix it, I just find it strange that I've had an extremely large amount in such a short spate of time lately. One day I picked up 10 units in 1 day with exactly the same problem.

    I was just wondering if anyone was experiencing similar issues :)

    Sorry, it's one of those errors that could be caused by many things all under the generic of user profile corruption.

    However, I find that it's usually caused by user error due to improperly trying to rename the user profile folder, or improperly trying to move the user profile folder to another location.
