User profile in WINDOWS 8.1, 8, 7 redirected to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile

Hi all,
When you are logging into Windows 8.1,8 or 7 using your user credential you will finaly end up as system service account or at least your profile will be recognized this way. This mean that system is now looking in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
for DESKTOP, DOCUMENTS etc.
I faced this probem few times on diffrent PCs. This problem has been out there for some time and peapole are tring to copy their profile to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile. Sound no good for me.
Another way is to create new profile but it takes a lot of time and the problem sometimes comes back
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7
I manage to find out that the issue has something to do with the change of the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
S-X-X-XX-XXXXXXXXX is your user SID. The to REG_DWORD that are changed
FLAGS
REFCOUNT
After you change values to FLAGS 1 and REFCOUNT 0 you have to log out. Now log in and you profile should be back again.
I hope that this will save you some time and that microsoft will finaly fix whatever cause this issue.

Hi Grzegorz,
Thanks for sharing and it will be very useful for the people who will come across the similar symptom in the future .

  • My Desktop went blank and an error message appeared saying C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop refers to a location...

    This the whole error message: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop refers to a location that

    I restarted the pc and  through the safe mode i copied the Desktop file that was missing at C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\
    from C:\Users\User. I restarted but i still get the blank desktop.
    Can you guys help me out?

    Thnx a lot LomM! My younger brother run the check disk and now it's working. But now im facing a different problem. With the sound drivers. I have not sound at all. And at Device manager I see  yellow marked devices, giving me the code error 52 ("Windows
    cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)").
    So, I unistalled and re-installed but nothing. Still yellow marked. I did the Recovery thing (a couple of times using different dates ) but it did not complete successfully.  
    So I disable driver verification, while i was restarting my computer and now im getting the code 39("Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.
    The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)").
    it's that C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ktshunk.sys which is not getting verified. Any ideas? 

  • How can I recover from Windows login failure: User Profile Service failed the login

    I have Boot Camp installed on a separate partition on a MacBook Pro, late 2011 model. I have Mavericks installedd (10.9.1). I use, variously, both Parallels and VM Fusion to access the BootCamp installation of Windows 7.
    Except for having recently installed updates of both VMFusion and Parallels, I got this failure message when trying to login to Windows:: The User Profile Service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
    I had just been on Windows a few moments previously to access a business site that only accepts IE. Appreciate any useful insight on dealing with this issue without having to totally replace the BootCamp installation. A lot of the suggestions on Microsoft Windows repair sites are either incomprehensible or don't seem applicable.

    Same problem here. Windows 7 support gives several so-called fixes (including regedit tweaks, eliminating the blocked user account), but all require access to that partition. So far as I know, I have only one user, since this is my personal computer -- unless there is some sort of default "administrator" logon.
    Windows support says the problem might be caused by antivirus software running while we try to logon, but this problem has never happened to me before, and I have not made anti-virus changes (maybe AVG or Avast did so automatically)
    I tried to access regedit through Finder, but get a garbled text-edit with the message that regedit cannot be opened by DOS.
    So I wonder (a) is there a default admin logon? (b) Can we tinker with the settings inside Windows from Finder, or (c) how else can we get into Windows?
    My setup: Macbook Pro (Fall 2010), 10.6.8, boot camp, Windows 7.

    Hi,
    If you want to modify the registry, you must have administrator privilege.
    Since no other administrator account in your computer, you may have to active the built-in administrator account.

  • Huge ntuser.dat.LOG1 since upgrade to Windows 8.1 prohibits roaming of user profile

    Hello,
    a few days ago my PC (part of our domain) first started to have problems with my user profile. Our domain uses roaming profiles with a size limit of 30MB. My user.dat has a size of 12.5MB. Up to now this did not cause any problems (and does not cause any for
    most users of our domain having a user.dat of similar size). However, after upgrading to Windows 8.1 I repeadly have problems with my profile exceeding its maximum size. After checking my profile, I found a ntuser.dat.LOG1 with 12,5MB in size and a ntuser.dat.LOG2
    of 2MB. As far as I know these files are used to store temporary transactions for the user.dat. But why are they this large? Together they almost completely fill the profile. As an interesting side node the last modification of ntuser.dat.LOG1 dates back more
    then seven days.
    What is further puzzling me: ntuser.dat.LOG1 and ntuser.dat.LOG2 are not synchronized with the roaming profile on the server. At least they are not on the server. However there used to be much smaller versions of these files which could have been transfered
    before the profile size exceeded its limit. Since these file seem not to be part of the roaming part of the profile, they should not count for the roaming profile size. However, they definitely do. Neglecting the registry files the largest file in my profile
    is less than 500kb and there are very few files of this size. I checked locally as well as on our server.
    Deleting the local profile and starting fresh using the roaming profile from our server does work for a day or two but then I run into the same problem. Especially, loosing all local profile data is inconvenient. I could start a new with a completely new
    profile, but I am not convinced that it is a profile issue. In our organisation my computer is one of the first to move to Windows 8.1. Since my profile worked without problems for years now, I am worried that I ran into a Windows 8.1 issue. As users normally
    start to complain about a roaming profile not synchronizing only after their local copy broke, I'd like to make sure that this is a isolated issue.
    Anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any hint on how to solve the problem?
    Regards,
    Oliver

    No, I did not find a solution. However, we moved away from roaming profiles and rely on folder redirection only. That works for us. Since we can redirect the most important folders there is no more need for roaming profiles (at least in our case).

  • How To Properly Delete a User Profile on Windows 7 in a Domain environment

    I have not been able to find an answer that matches the issue I'm facing. I had recently setup a laptop for a user and soon after, he was experiencing issues that I thought might be profile related. So, I did what always worked for me on prior versions of
    Windows without any fuss or side affects.
    Logged in under the local Administrator account, I went into: System Properties>User Profiles>Settings and removed the user profile from their. When I do that, I get an error message:
    Profile Error
    Profile not deleted completely. Error - A required privilege is not held by the client
    Ok, no problem I think. I just need to delete the user's profile directory under the users folder right? So I do this and figure when I try to log in again as the user that a new profile will be created. However, this is not what happens exactly. I login
    with the user credentials and it logs in successfully. However, I get a pop saying:
    You have been logged on with a temporary profile
    You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off. To fix this, log off and try logging on later.
    Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator
    So my question is; why did the profile not delete completely after both deleting the user profile under System Properties and after deleting the actual profile directory? What did I miss and what is the proper method of deleting a user profile completely
    without running into these other issues?

    Hi Womprat,
    According to your description, I understand that you want to delete user profile but display an error in Windows 7.
    Please use other user (with administrator privileges) login this computer, then open Properties for Computer--->Advanced system setting--->Settings for User Profiles, then select the profile you want to delete.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 RDS + User profile Disks + App-V = Explorer.exe crashing all of the time

    I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
    client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
    crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
    logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
    I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
    all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
    Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
    Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
    Any other suggestions welcome!

    I forgot to include the application event log entry for explorer.exe crashing:

  • Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain

    Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
    We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
    The settings which I am concerned:
    1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
    2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
    3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
    4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement). 
    The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
    FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
    Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.

    Hi,
    >>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
    This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
    drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
    However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.

  • Firefox V33.0 can't find user profile and cant view window content

    Hello
    I have used Firefox since the old days, wayyy back. Never an issue, always worked, always performed.
    My Firefox (v32 I believe), automatically downloaded and applied the v33 browser and immediately, everything went wrong...
    First, the browser loaded but the screen was either sheet black or sheet white, then reloading (after closing the window) was informed (only via the window title as all else was block black) that Firefox couldn't see a user profile.
    I loaded FF with safe mode and disabled everything (list of addons at the bottom of this post), and the browser loads now and I can see content, but then after only a minute in "safe mode" firefox persistently returned with either a fatal crash or a sudden inability to find the user profile (causing exit).
    Reading up about possible workarounds, I eventually managed to export the Profile data (to desktop), to clear the profile data and replace data with desktop copy. Clearing the data took several attempts due to firefox display only showing black or white as stated above, but firefox then couldn't "import" profile as I can't see whats going on in the window.
    Eventually manually installed profile data (from desktop automatic copy) to firefox but FF still persisted in crashing to desktop and not displaying correctly if not in Safe mode. I eventually uninstalled firefox and reinstalled from scratch. The reinstall persisted with all the above mentioned issues, I did manually reinstate the FF user profile and crashing to desktop is now rare but does still happen, now it usually happens when Firefox is not the current active window.
    Firefox still does not display correctly unless in the "Safe Mode".
    Any clues or help or suggestion about why this would happen? Any way I can revert to version 32?
    My Addons :
    No Services.
    Appearance, default only
    PLUGINS:
    VLC plugin 2.1.3.0
    Silverlight plugin 5.1.3
    shockwave flash 15.0.0
    Quicktime plugin 7.7.5
    Java platform SE7 U67 10.
    Google Update (disabled)
    Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9
    EXTENSIONS:
    British Dictionary (not compatible with v33!!, disabled)
    Colorzilla 2.8.1
    cssUpdater 0.5.2 (disabled)
    Dust-Me Selector [for CSS] 4.1
    Firebug 2.0.3 (and associated FireDiff, FirePHP, EventBug)
    enabling / disabling all/any of these does not (so far) change the graphical fault loading Firefox outside of Safe Mode.
    Any ideas?
    cheers
    P.S>As additional info: I have tried the "reset firefox" but this caused numerous little bugs with saving the profile user data. Also reseting did not fix any of the issues.
    Everything else on my computer works fine. No virus, no malware (Eset / MWBytes) all other programs fine, and FF was fine until V33!!

  • Essbase client missing after creation of new windows user profile

    I created a new windows user profile after an apparent corruption of my old one. However, when I open Excel, the Essbase client (add-in) is gone. Smartview is still there. The client doesn't show up after registering Essbase Add-In is executed. I can add the client by navigating to C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin and selecting essxleqd.xla and essxcln.xll. The add-in then appears to be installed. However, when I try to connect to Essbase, the connection dialog box does not show up. I'm on version 11.1.1.3 and Excel 2007.
    Is there a way to resolve this short of re-installing the client? Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    dave

    I remember the Essbase add-in used to be a small executable of a few MB that was easy to install. It's my understanding that they went to the global installer where they include various product assemblies. The files needed to run the global installer for a simple add-in amount to close to about 4GB in size. Our VPN for remote users is very slow and takes forever to install. I see ther is still a small executable for the Smartview install. Is there a small executable for the Essbase add-in somewhere that I'm not aware of? I can reinstall if that's what it takes. I was hoping there might something a bit less time consuming.
    Thanks John.

  • Windows 7 very slow logon, Waiting for the User Profile Service, winlogon event 6006

    Hello,
    Every so often one of our Windows 7 clients which is not normally having any delay at logon will take a very long time to login. This may be 10 or 20 minutes or up to an hour in some cases.
    Typically the event log will contain entries like
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> took 572 second(s) to handle the notification event (Logon).
    There is no further information available from Event Log Online Help, nor any additional detail as to why the logon event was so slow. During the delay the user will just see "Waiting for the User Profile Service" on their screen.
    We first started seeing this problem with Windows Vista and if anything the situation has not improved since then. It has never happened with any of our Windows XP users.
    We are currently planning a migration of computers to Windows 7 but stuff like this which has not been resolved in Windows over a 2 year period will stall that migration. The least improvement is to increase the event notification to give a lot more
    information on why the user profile processing has stalled.

    Hi,
    When did the issue begin to occur? Did it occur after installing certain application or applying certain policy?
    To troubleshoot the issue, please perform the following step.
    1. Restart the machine in Safe Mode with Networking to check whether the system can login quicker.
    2. Type “gpedit.msc” in Search box and press Enter. Navigate to the following location:
    Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->System->Logon
    Please double click “Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon” policy and disable it.
    3. Perform a
    Clean Boot to check the result.
    Thanks,
    Novak

  • Need help with roaming user profiles, home folder on server - symptoms after Windows reinstall on workstation

    Hello. I have deployed roaming user profiles in our home office. We are using Windows Server 2012 on our datacenter computer, which has a partition with all our home directories. All was working beautifully for quite some time.
    I re-installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my laptop. I am able to log in to my profile from the new installation.
    The problem that has started happening seems to be some sort of permission problem with my home directory, but I am not sure how to go about diagnosing it. I haven't changed anything in the policies or remote profiles.
    The symptoms:
    When I try to run an installation program from my documents/downloads/desktop (remote) folders, UAC asks for the administrative credentials as expected, and then I am asked to enter my user credentials. If I do so, I sometimes get a message about duplicate
    connections to a share, and the installation program does not execute. "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or
    shared resource and try again." I am confused, because I am entering credentials for the same user name as the one I am logged in with.
    To work around, I have to copy the executable to a folder on my workstation hard drive and run it from there.
    Another symptom is when I download anything from the internet, chrome will reflect a "Failed - Download error" message with the download. If I re-attempt the same download several times, eventually it will succeed. This appears to be due to my
    downloads folder being on the remote computer.
    I am looking for any guidance on how to remedy these symptoms. I suspect there must be a setting I have forgotten to change in the local computer, because nothing has changed on the server since it was operating properly.
    Thank you for your time.

    Non-administrator user is ok. Reboots did not help. I did system restore and all was well. Then I only updated Firefox to 35.0 and got same problem. Restoring again fixed the issue.
    Windows updates were last installed 22-Dec-14 and there are currently 9 updates waiting to be installed. Adobe is also notifying tht updates are available for Reader & Flash

    This is appears to be a Windows problem.
    Yes Firefox may not be working but it would appear to be because of a Windows problem.

    I do not think installing or upgrading Firefox could be expected to produce such an error, but if it did I would have expected this forum, and the input feedback to have had a sudden spike in complaints.
    I am not noticing anything on this forum. The input feedback no longer has the useful pictorial graphics, but interactive results are here if you wish to look through them

    Note people are probably more likely to complain than compliment. it is not at all unusual to have more negative than positive reports.
    You could try asking on a Windows forum. Try doing a web search if you do not already have some favourite forum. Or have a go with this one
