    Windows 7 login error message: The User Profile Service failed the log


    I tried to login last night and got the error message. I have rebooted, tried to enter safe mode using F8, tried to use the Windows 7 disk, and tried pressing ctrl/alt/delete. Nothing will let me past the login screen. Any suggestions? I have tried many of the ones I found many of the ones on the internet to no avail.

    Hello Tabmb, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if the tutorial below may be able to help with this user profile error. Be sure to read all of it for all available options. In particular about the different options to enable the built-in Administrator account to then be able to do the rest of the tutorial below.

    User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    Hope this helps for now, :)
