Note: If you are thinking to perform these steps, then be on the safe side and create the backup of your data whose loss you can’t bear. This suggestion is viable because the steps here are going to make some changes in the Windows Registry. Generally, the data remains unaffected from the procedure, but there are some cases where users have lost many relevant data.

  • Reboot your PC.
  • When PC is starting, go to Safe Mode. Form the instance, you entered the Safe Mode, let the PC usually begin.
  • Launch Run.
  • Enter regedit in the command space, and hit Enter. Registry Editor will open.
  • Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionProfileList in the Registry Window.
  • Tap on every S-1-5 folders on the left pan and double-tap on ProfileImagePath. From here, you will find out which one is related to which user. If you find any file with .bak or .ba, then rename them.
  • Once you have found out the corrupted profile without the .bak extension, tap-double on the RefCount. Here you have to replace the Value data to 0 (if it does not have the value then you have to put it there manually, now hit Ok button.
  • After that, click twice on the State, ensure that the value data is 0. Hit Enter.
  • Now, you have to close the Registry editor.
  • Then Reboot your PC again.

These steps will resolve the issue, and now you are able to log in with your User Profile. After rebooting try to log in and check is there any issue.
