Windows 10 - "The user profile service failed the sign-in."

[John Taylor]

Hi, yesterday I made a new local profile on my HP Envy with Windows 10. After creating the account, I went to log into it but an error message popped up reading "The User Profile Service failed the "sign-in". Seeing this, I opened "regedit" from Run and found the profile list under
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList"
I went through them and found that the new account was not even listed in the registar for my computer. I am assuming this is why I am getting this error message. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks

Yes, also no sub directory here either.

It is obvious you have an admin account you can login.
My suggestion :
Login to your admin > do a system restore.
Pick a date BEFORE you created that new account, a date when everything was working properly. Use that date as your restore point.

After that, try to create a new user account again. See if it can be logged in.
