The User Profile Service failed the logon.

I just wanted to take a quick moment and say thank you to the post from

John Bailey, bazkennedy and cgos. You were all helpful but these three

post led me to a successful fix.

I recently found myself faced with the logon problem, basically saying

The User Profile / service failed the logon / user profile can not be

loaded. I was dead in the water because it was the admin account. I had

other accounts on the computer so after logging in on a second account.

I went into the search bar just above the vista symbol at bottom left

and entered cmd, which showed in the search window the cmd.exe command.

I right clicked over the cmd.exe and clicked run as a administrator.

Just type in the password and your in the DOS prompt. Then type regedit

and then follow the above posts information. I did see the .bak at the

end of the values. I then followed more of "cgos" information (above

post) by renaming the extra identical value (without .bak) just by

ending it with.old. I then removed (just) .bak from the value. Then

replacing the 8 from the 8000 in the right hand side "state" value.

Then logged off my second account and then onto the admin account and

all is well.

It seems a little tricky but after figuring out how to run as admin from

a second acct everything went quickly and smoothly after that.

Good Luck.
