The User Profile Service failed the logon
error is popping up each time I start my computer (on Windows 7, workgroup environment). Even Safe mode starts with Default Profile
I have tried following (through safe mode)
- Editing registry as suggested on in Method 1
- Tried creating a new account, through control panel or command prompt, but not working.
- Deleted profile as suggested in the 3rd method.
- Tried recovery options.
Ultimately, also deleted the user profile folder from C:\users, as suggested by some site. Even this didn't work.
What should I do?
Images: [c:\users while showing hidden and system files]
Edit: I tried enabling administrator account (with command prompt) and thankfully it is starting but with a lot of errors. Still, unable to create new user with control panel.
While adding user with command prompt, user directories and registry entry are not building up.
Looks like the problem is that the Default user is corrupted. Try this: https://www.kapilarya.com/the-user-profile-service-failed-the-sign-in-windows-10

The Default user is a junction to the Default folder. Because you don't have any usable user profile, you can try this: https://www.tenforums.com/general-support/67875-corrupt-ntuser-dat-file-default-folder.html
