This Process requires you to modify the registry. Modifying the registry incorrectly may cause serious problems. Make sure you follow these steps carefully. I recommend  doing a registry back up In-case a problem occurs you can restore from it.

To fix the user account profile, follow these steps:

0. You must log in via save mode. Click here to learn how to log in to your PC in safe mode.

2. In Registry Editor, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

3. Expand ProfileList, locate the folder that begins with S-1-5 followed by a long number.

4. You should see two S-1-5 followed by a long number. One with a “.bak“ at the end and one without it.

5. Select each S-1-5 folder, then double-click the ProfileImagePath entry in the right pane, to make sure that this is the user account profile that has the error.
