When I first power on my computer for the past week, the initial login fails. I get a "user profile cannot be loaded" error. I'm given the option to dismiss or sign out. I can sign out and then login normally without difficulty.
Any thoughts what might be going on?
Hi ericnixmd.
When I hear Power Up and an issue I think Windows Fast Startup.
To test, at a command prompt (admin) or Power Shell (admin) enter the following command
powercfg -h off
to reverse change the word off to on in command.

Thanks. I tried that. Will see if it works.
@Caledon Ken I think that worked. Thanks!
Great. That was just a quick test. If you want to enable hibernation, for power savings, you can issue the command to reverse and then follow this tutorial to just disable Windows Fast Startup.
