Win 7 Admin user Profile will not load

[sm7]

Hi
I've tried to get help on some sights and no one will help me with this problem. It looks as though there are a couple of ways to correct this problem. I am not confident in doing these changes because I cannot set Restore Point.

Win7, 32 Bit
Days ago my computer booted up and my desktop was rearranged. Then I was booted up as Default User. I reboot w/F8 and was back in my Admin Profile. Again today booted into Default Profile. I reboot trying F8 (It will not work as usual) and the system Boots me up as Default User. I then have to Cntl Alt Delete to go into my normal Admin User/Safe Mode. My DeskTop is gone and I’m booted in as a New User(Old Windows Look) with no Restore points. All my files look to bein the system just none of my Admin User Profile info.
I used [FONT=&quot]Minimal Safe Mode[/FONT] in the default Safe Mode option. I ran Malwarebytes, Sophos 2.6.1 , Spybot, Adw Cleaner in Safe mode with nothing found, CC Cleaner Will not run in Safe Mode.

I ran Malwarebytes, Sophos 2.6.1 , Adw Cleaner, CC Cleaner in Normal boot with nothing found. Sophos 2.6.1 will not run Error 1606 Could not access network location.

Welcome to the forum. Your first move is to create a new administrator account before you loose control you should be able to do this by cmdline or run add a user as administrator even if your logged in with a normal account. Have you run chkdsk c: / r as a disk error is most likely cause?

Samurai Thanks so much for replying. Been working on this for 4 days so a little punch trunk. I take direction well so u may have to direct me step by step. I have not checked my disk but will list what I've done to show you what I found.

Ran sfc/ scan now

Far logs said below

Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.[/FONT]


I tried to Restore in Reg and Safe but I can't get restore points.


I've found that i must rename the Admin user file and then remove and deal with the registry.


To answer you question I had a power prob in the room (computer shut down) with my computer and when I booted up again the system ran a disk check (All was good)so I have NOT Checked the disk but it was check days ago. I have not been able to set a new Admin Profile in Reg mode and was trying to back my Registry up in safe mode and got lost and have NOT tried to create one in SAFE mode.


Just direct me what you want me to do and I will stayed glued here as long as you will direct me . TY

Hello,

You would first start by opening cmd. In start menu, in the search box, type in "cmd".

Right-click on cmd or cmd.exe and select "Run as administrator"

In the command line interface, type in the following command, replacing username with the desired username of the new account, and password with the desired password:

net user /add [B]username password[/B]

Then, you would need to add the user to the administrators group, replace username with the username you used for the new account:

net localgroup administrators [B]username[/B] /add

To confirm everything went okay, type in the following to display a list of users:

net user

You can also use the following command the view details about the user account, and ensure they are in the administrators group (replace username with the appropriate username):

net user [B]username[/B]

Source: windows - Create admin user from command line - Super User

DeerDude do i do this in Safe Mode or Reg mode ?

 

[TheDeerDude]

DeerDude do i do this in Safe Mode or Reg mode ?

You can do it in either, I would recommend Safe Mode however

DeerDude I was able to create the NEW Admin in SAFEMODE but when I try to COPY the Corrupt Admin User Info into the NEW Admin the info does not transfer .. nothing happens. I followed the below directions.

3. Create a new account

Open Control Panel from the Start Menu and select User Account and Family Safety, then click User Accounts. Click Manage another account, then click Create another account. Enter a name for your new user (it must be different to the old one, although you can rename later). Make your new account an Administrator, and click Create Account.

4. Copy old data

You now need to copy all of your old data to your new account. First, click Start and choose Switch account. On the Login screen, click your new account to log in to it for the first time (if you don't do this, the user folder won't be created). When you're at the Desktop, log off and log into the Administrator account you used in Step 2.
Use Windows Explorer to go to your old user's folder, which is most likely: C:Users
Press Alt, click Tools and select Folder Options. Click View and make sure you've selected 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives'. Deselect 'Hide protected operating system files (Recommended). Click OK.
Select all files in this folder, except the ones that start Ntuser.dat, Ntuser.dat.log, Ntuser.ini. Press Control-C or select Copy from the Edit menu (if you don't see the menu press Alt first).
Browse to your new user's folder (most likely c:Users). Press Control-V, select Paste, or select Paste from the Edit menu (press Alt if you don't see this menu).

 

[TheDeerDude]

Interesting. So you were trying to copy all the user files and documents from the old user's folder, to the new user's folder? and you get no error or anything at all?

I'm afraid I just don't know where to go from here, maybe someone else would be willing to give you assistance with this

That, plus it would be good to know why the original profile was corrupted in the first place.

DeerDude I copied then tried to paste and nothing happened. I tried more and acicdentally dropped my Contacts folder in another folder then had to do a search to find it and get it back in place.

TY for your time and attention

 

[sm7]

DeerDude I tried to reply earlier but I guess my message didn't go through. I would Copy and try and paste but nothing would happen. I tried so many times I lost the Contact File in another file trying to move them and had to create a search to find it. I'm going to do a little more work on Virus search and come back tommorrow. I may have more based on how did this corruption begin ? causing my issue ?

Thank you for your time and attention ... much appreciated . Will come back to ya !

Hi, im new here, but i hope i could help u...,

I had the same problem with some notebooks, but found solution...

At start press f8 and start in save mode, than go to "control panel" and make a new user there, than restart and log in into that user, run regedit, search for "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList"

maybe you will find your profile with a ".bak" something like this "S-1-5-21…1000" and "S-1-5-21…1000.bak"

delete the ".bak" from the second, and add it to the first.

restart your pc

This helped me

I created the NEW Admin User from Default Admin User and tried to Copy Paste files from Original Corrupted Admin USer but it would not work. Now when I logged back in and get the "Youve been logged in as Temp USer it loaded old data on top of my good info in the Orginal Corrupt Admin USer. CAn anyone give me an idea why this happened and where the good info from the Corrupted User Profile has gone or is it still in my system. I Unfornately tried to be thorough and do a new back up before this process but it seems like the back up download the bad data and my good data is now gone from my back up drive with the bad data. Has anyone heard of this type of behavior. I have put my problem on a Helper site and I'm told i am not infected ?

Win 7 Gurus please help me keep my sanity and explain this. i'v been working on this for hours since 4/10. I really want the data and then may just clean install if forced ? TY

 

[sm7]

thiscown,

Can a Win 7 Guru guide me through the process of finding out if my USer Profile data is still in my system ?

I was not able to start in F8 ... it always works but not in this case and I do not know why ?

Thanks for the post. I saw that fix and I was resistant to deal with the registry ... and I should have done your fix because now I'm in a bigger mess with possibly losing my data. I am going to try your fix after someone responds if my data Favorites etc are still in my system. i want to try and find it. Might you know how to answer my latest post ? TY

I read somewhere that Win 7 stores up to five User Profile.. i'm not sure how this info works. Is there a back up in a .dat file or something ?

 

[thiscowno1]

Hi!
Im not a big guru so i only could give u this thing to help, i also used this (and wrote it for u)
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/947215/you-receive-a-the-user-profile-service-failed-the-logon-error-message
there are 3 methods, i used the first one "Method 1: Fix the user account profile"

 

[sm7]

Thank you thiscowno1 I 'm going to try this. I have to close up some loose ends with someone who had me run Rogkiller I need to finish that off. I've created more of an issue where i can't find all of my User Profiles settings since i tried a method to create a NEW USer Profile and copy paste the info into the NEW Profile and it didn't work. Anyway once the machine boots it copied over my Original Profile setting and supposedly those setting are still in my system somewhere. I will be trying the fixes you gave me after i clear up or get some answers to this lost User info. Thanks again

If the old profile is corrupt coping anuthingbut data files will corrupt the new one to get your old files you will need to take ownership of the old profile as you wont have permission to acces it Take Ownership Shortcut - Windows 7 Help Forums

Fist do the basic.
- Schedule a disk check (chkdsk c: /f)
- Run sfc /scannow
