I have a Windows 8.1 Pro Dell 15R Laptop and I am trying to create a local user but when I initially log on, I says, "The User Profile service failed the sign-in."
I asked Answer Desk and I couldn't afford their services.
Any idea to help me?

A bug in Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 (KB2932965) can cause this (see the bug report). I worked around the problem by deleting
C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon; however, if you wanted to play it safe, you could reset the permissions on that folder to inherit from parent instead.
