I have Windows 8.1 (64Bit). After trying today to log in to my account (user account) I get immediately signed out without even being signing in. I restarted my PC but the problem is still there. I can log in to my Administrator Account without problems. My PC has one Administrator Account and one User Account.
In the Event Viewer I get the message:
Level: Error
Event ID: 1542
Source: User Profile Service
Windows cannot load classes registry file. The system cannot find the file specified.
Level: Warning
Event ID: 4006
Source: Winlogon
The Windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Apllication name: . Command line parameters: C:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe
I tried to restore to earlier date but there is no restore point created. On my laptop I can login in the User Account that is not working on my PC.
Anyone any ideas what I could do ?

If you have a restoration point I would use that. Otherwise I would create a new user profile and transfer the old profile's files to its profile folder by taking ownership of the old folder. I have only see the registry become corrupt when two things happen in all my years of using Windows, the first is when people use registry cleaners the second I when there is a underline system storage device problem. – Ramhound – 2015-03-27T10:41:19.850
No I do not use registry cleaners. Yesterday everything was fine, but today I get the above problem. I remember that instead of shutting down the PC I clicked on Hibernate, I realised that and turned PC on again just to shut it down. I unfortunately don't have a restore point. So I will try creating a new User Profile and copy the files. Can you explain this a bit further ? – Devid – 2015-03-27T10:50:12.100
You just create a new user so your not using the built-in
Administratoraccount. In the future don't shutdown the computer without first taking it out of hibernation. – Ramhound – 2015-03-27T10:58:09.837I took it out of hibernation and after that shut it down. It is the only think I can think of that caused the problem. – Devid – 2015-03-27T11:03:40.453
If you shut the computer down the correct way then that's not the reason the registry hive became corrupt. Its likely because of a HDD problem I would clone the current drive and replace it. – Ramhound – 2015-03-27T11:07:27.957
Possible failing disk drive. Backup now. Check your hard disk for smart errors. – DavidPostill – 2015-03-27T11:12:36.593
@DavidPostill I think the NTUSER.DAT file is corrupted. The file is located in the User Folder of the User Account (disable Hide protected operating system files). But I am still working on it. – Devid – 2015-03-27T11:45:12.977
