When creating users accounts I am signed in under my Microsoft Live account, this account is already part of the Administrators group. I can create the new Standard User account but when trying to log on to the account I get the following message
The user profile service failed the sign-in
This is happening with every local account I create. I have tried deleting account and recreating with no resolution.
I am running a fully patched Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit OS.
I did try that but it did not fix my problem. – Phil Murray – 2014-05-26T16:21:36.280
@Phil Murray Which option? – tk1974 – 2014-05-26T17:07:19.193
Link-only answers are a no-no; please include pertinent information directly in your answer(s) and, if required, cite the website as a source. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-05-26T18:31:43.377
@techie007 What if the information is too long to paraphrase, such as step by step instructions, or there are multiple possible answers to a complex question with no easily defined answer? Even the Microsoft Technet forums have no clearly defined answer to this problem. – tk1974 – 2014-05-26T18:52:00.603
1If the link it points to dies, then your answer is of no use to anyone, that's the main reason. The secondary reason is that we're not here to just be a site with links to other sites, we're here to provide answers. The SE editor allows you to provide long answers. If you have no clearly defined answer to provide, then you probably don't have a good answer worth providing - just suggestions. Anyhow I appreciate that you lengthened your answer with some real info. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-05-26T19:24:24.487
