Windows 8 needed an update, so it told me to restart my laptop, I did that, it said it had failed to update so its just resetting my laptop, then it froze for about an hour.

Now whenever I type in my password, it says 'the user.profile service failed the sign in, user profile cannot be loaded'.

I haven't got a restore point, as none of of windows updates have actually worked. I also don't have a recovery disk as my laptop was built with windows 8 and microsoft are absolultey useless saying they couldnt help me unless I paid for an extended warrenty, even though I've had my laptop for less than a year.

Any ideas??? Thank you!!
 
Recovery disk wouldn't be from MS it would be from the laptop manufacture. As you need to reinstall the best thing to do is talk to the manufacturer about a recovery disk.

Not bought a pre installed version of win 8 but previous version of windows which came pre installed always asked the user to make a set of backup DVD's.
