user profile not loading

Have you got a windows user profile that isn’t loading correctly?

Have you checked:

  1. Is the profile loaded into the registry already? (check regedit under HKEY_USERS)
  2. Has the user got write access to the registry hive? (can be an issue in default profile / roaming profile scenarios)

Well if it’s not those things! Open regedit and head to:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

Find the folder that contains your user profile information (it’ll be in the key ProfileImagePath) and then delete this folder.
