  • Click Start, type regedit in the Search box, and then press ENTER.
  • In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
  • In the navigation pane, locate the folder that begins with S-1-5 (SID key) followed by a long number.
  • Click each S-1-5 folder, locate the ProfileImagePath entry in the details pane, and then double-click to make sure that this is the user account profile that has the error.
  • If you have two folders starting with S-1-5 followed by some long numbers and one of them ended with .bak, you have to rename the .bak folder. To do this, follow these steps:
    • Right-click the folder without .bak, and then click Rename. Type .ba, and then press ENTER.
    • Right-click the folder that is named .bak, and then click Rename. Remove .bak at the end of the folder name, and then press ENTER.
    • Right-click the folder that is named .ba, and then click Rename. Change the .ba to .bak at the end of the folder name, and then press ENTER.
  • If you have only one folder starting with S-1-5 that is followed by long numbers and ends with .bak. Right-click the folder, and then click Rename. Remove .bak at the end of the folder name, and then press ENTER.
  • Click the folder without .bak in the details pane, double-click RefCount, type 0, and then click OK.
  • Click the folder without .bak, in the details pane, double-click State, type 0, and then click OK.
  • Close Registry Editor.
  • Restart the computer.
  • Log on again with your account.

Thanks. This will be a new System repair fix, in the next update.

@Jim Thanks a million. This one saved me again.

@Fred Is there no way to integrate this feature into the Quick user manager?
I can inject a new user - or - at times there will already be another user - or - the admin can be enabled.
Then I can leverage this user to effect the registry changes that Jim posted. Of course this would be a nice feature of the upcoming "Awesome UVK Live" --- Hint Hint. LOL
