I have a new laptop running Win 8.1 pro. Using my 'main' account everything is good and the laptop is connected to the internet.
I try to create a new user for my daughter by selecting "change pc settings" from the charms bar, then new account. I enter the email address for my daughter's existing microsoft account - one that works fine when used to login on a different win8.1 laptop.
When I try to login on the new laptop using the new account I get the message "The user profile service failed the sign-in" On checking the event log I can see the following sequence of warnings / errors:
Windows cannot copy file \?\C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon\12.0\SQM\sqmdata-7204-039-00000.sqm to location \?\C:\Users\georg_000\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon\12.0\SQM\sqmdata-7204-039-00000.sqm. This error may be caused by network problems or insufficient security rights.
DETAIL - Access is denied.
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
The winlogon notification subscriber failed a critical notification event.
Windows cannot log you on because your profile cannot be loaded. Check that you are connected to the network, and that your network is functioning correctly.
DETAIL - Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed.
Could anyone please suggest what I can do to fix?
Answer
This error is occurring because Windows cannot copy the file referenced in the error message during creation of the user account.
Check the NTFS permissions on the file. I suggest ensuring the Everyone identity has at least Read permissions to the file. It's a good idea to confirm the other files in that same directory, as well as the directory itself, also have the same Read permission.
