Once created a new standard user account. I tried a few other things and got non repeatable results. The system has been rebooted several times, windows has applied patches on one of the reboots. So I picked an earlier point in time, that restore installed without errors. Disabled AVG, still wouldn't 'apply' the restore. The first restore point I picked failed to 'install' on reboot, reported that either the restore point had problems or anti-virus program was blocking the restore. Used windows restore to try to go back before the problems. After editing the registry, and upon reboot only the system administrator account appeared. Logon screen showed all three accounts, but one of the stanrd user accounts couldn't be successfully logged into.įollowed method #1 to edit registry and rename/copy/edit the S-1-5 keys. Problems started as 'the user profile service failed the logon'. Although the two standard user accounts still show up in the 'manage users' control panel utility. On both startup or 'swittch user' the login screen only shows the system admin account icon and the password field is waiting for input. System has 3 accounts: Administrator password protected, and two standard user accounts.
