the group policy client service failed the logon

- Restart the computer.
- Login with an administrative account (not the account that is having the problem).
- Rename the ntuser.dat file (to something like ntuser.old1) for the user that is having the problem (C:\Users\%username%\ntuser.dat).
- Log off and login with the user account, a temporary profile should be created.
- Log off and login with the previous administrative account.
- Open REGEDIT and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
There should be a profile under that key that has .bak after the SID number (e.g. S-1-5-21-245852018-2450494779-245611912-1000.bak).
- Select the key and check the ProfileImagePath string value relates to the correct user then delete the SID key (that ends with .bak).
- Restart and login with the affected user account, they should be able to login now.

Continual pop-up in Word 'Connecting to Office.Microsoft.com' asking for credentials

Starting today when running Word, I am continually receiving the ‘Connecting ....’ message below. I have been running Office Home/Student 2010 for the past 4 years and have changed nothing in that time. I have tried repairing Office but a file is apparently missing. I have removed all entries from Credential Manager and I’m not running a Proxy Server.

What could it be?

Thank you.

This problem may be caused by the translation service crash. Please use another service site to replace the current one.

Delete Profile Wireless

How to Delete a Wireless Network Profile in Windows 8 and 8.1

   Information

A wireless (Wi-Fi) network profile contains the SSID (network name), password key, and security information to be able to connect to the wireless network.

This tutorial will show you how to delete a wireless network connection profile created in Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, and Windows RT 8.1.

OPTION ONE

To Delete Wireless Network Profile using "Forget this network"

1. Do step 2 or 3 below for how you would like to open the "Networks" flyout.

2. On your desktop, click/tap on the Network icon in the taskbar notification area, and go to step 4 below. (see screenshot below)

3. Open the Charms bar, click/tap on Settings, click/tap on the Network icon, and go to step 4 below. (see screenshot below)

4. Do step 5 or 6 below depending on what Windows you have.


5. In Windows 8 or Windows RT, right click or press and hold on the wireless network (ex: Brink-Router) in the network list, click/tap on Forget this network, and go to step 7 below. (see screenshot below)

   Note

Windows does not provide the option to "Forget this network" if this is for a Mobile Broadband profile that is provisioned by the carrier. The option only appears when a custom or user profile is created.

"Forget this network" will not be available for the listed wireless networks that you didn't create a network connection profile for.

6. In Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, click/tap on a disconnected wireless network (ex: Brink-Router) in the network list, uncheck Connect automatically, click/tap on Connect, click/tap on Forget network if it fails to connect, and go to step 7 below. (see screenshots below)

NOTE: In Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, you will only be able to use Forget network on a saved wireless network profile if you are unable to connect to it. Otherwise you will need to use OPTION TWO below.

7. After a few moments the saved wireless network profile will now be removed (forgotten).

OPTION TWO

To Delete Wireless Network Profile in a Command Prompt

1. Open a command prompt.

2. In the command prompt, copy and paste the command below, and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
NOTE: This command will give you a list of all wireless network profiles on your PC.

netsh wlan show profiles

3. In the command prompt, type the command below, and press Enter. (see screenshot below)
NOTE: This command will delete the wireless network profile.

netsh wlan delete profile name="WirelessProfileName"


For example, if I wanted to delete my listed Brink-Router (name) wireless network profile, I would type the command below exactly.

netsh wlan delete profile name="Brink-Router"

4. When finished, you can close the command prompt if you like.
5. In some scenarios you may need to remove all the wireless network profiles stored in Windows 8.1. Luckily, you don't have to remove them one by one. That would be really awful.
All you have to do is to type this command: netsh wlan delete profile name=* i=*.

You will see it deleting all profiles in less than a second.
