Here's a fun one. I had to restore a system backup today that must've had something wrong with it because although I can boot just fine, when I try to sign in I get the message:
The User Profile Service failed the sign-in. The user profile cannot be loaded.
So I assume there's something wrong with that profile... something I could maybe fix in safe mode.
Problem is... it's my admin account and obviously if I can't get into that I can't get any further whether I boot into safe mode or not. Still gotta login.
Any way around this or am I just boned?
I also have another image taken just before I loaded this one that I can try. See... the reason I had to resort to this in the first place was to save a damned mod setup after my mod software threw its intricate config data into a black hole... basically rendering the entire thing irrecoverable. I tried to pull them from the abyss to no avail. Opted to dump this backup because I didn't want to lose the time put in. I'll put it this way... if I put 3 straight days and nights into trying to save it, it wouldn't put a dent in the time spent setting up in the first place. If I can't recover it there will never be any going back to how it was.
So it's either try to fix this or boot Linux via USB to pull the good files from what's on the drive now (assuming they aren't also corrupted) and then do the fresh install... or try to pull my second backup and copy the old files back in. Either way...
Which... it may come down to that anyway. I'm not sure if the backup is corrupted or not. The image verified so I'm thinking easeus' 'system backup' might just be rotten. If I go the route of pulling the files before swapping for another image, I'll know for sure.
Either way, I'll probably never touch thier software again. That's for sure! I knew I was in for a ride when it decided that C: was old hat for system partitions and instead designated it as A: haha. Windows at least caught that when it ran its pre-boot check, though. I've never seen such wonky behavior from this software before. I'm learning so much!
It just seems crazy to me that if your only Win10 admin account gets corrupted there's no way to fix it. It's rediculous that something like that could make the system irreparably inoperable. Doesn't it keep a backup of user profiles? I know 7 did. But then... how would I access that and swap them if I can't login.
I'm just at a total loss as to how to get around it. Any ideas? Anything dumb that might cause this?
