You should not panic if you encounter the error "failed to load your profile correctly." We also do not recommend reinstalling the Google Chrome browser, as the situation will not change. What you need to do, you ask. There really exists a solution; moreover, there are several of them.
How to correctly upload your profile: method one
First, close your browser. After that we need to ask the system
show
hidden folders. For this purpose, start the “Service”, then go to “Folder Options”, pay attention to “View” and set the task “Show hidden folders” (when the problem with the browser is resolved, you can perform the reverse procedure for the folder settings to restore them to their normal form ) Then we need to get into the folder called User Data. To do this, you have to go a long way: go to drive C, open the Users folder, then go to the directory with the username, then we are interested in the AppData folder, then Local, of course, Google, respectively, Chrome. And there we will already see the necessary User Data directory. In the next step, we visit the Default folder, removing the Web Data directory from it. All is ready. The problem must be solved.
Chrome could not load profile: second solution
It is worth noting that this method is based on the first. We need to go into the folder that we already visited in the first solution. Once in it, we are looking for a directory with the name Default. Next, rename this folder, for example, in Default2.
After that, open the Chrome browser and instantly a new folder with the name Default appears.
Next, in the resulting folder from the recently renamed Default2, we move absolutely all data except Web Data. It remains to delete the Default2 directory. From this moment, the indicated error should not appear. If once it seemed a little to her, and the error reminds herself of herself again, you can do everything described above again.
There is a third option
If you did everything described above and still see that the Chrome profile could not be loaded, you can try another tool. Now we will talk about how to delete a user using the settings. To do this, go to the Google Chrome settings.
To do this, click on the button with three stripes, which is located in the upper right corner of the browser, and in the menu that appears, find the item of the same name. While in the "Settings", we are looking for the "Users" section and a little lower the "Delete user" function. We carry out the removal, after which the error should not bother us anymore.
It should be noted that after deleting the user, the automatic
Sign in to your Google Account and access all of its services. If for some reason this method does not suit you or it did not help you, just log out of your Google account and log in again using your browser settings.
Through the task manager
If you know how to work with the task manager, a faster way is provided for you. Launch the "Task Manager" using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Del. Go to the "Processes" tab. We are shutting down all the processes associated with the name Chrome. You can also run Chrome as an administrator.
If you have Windows XP
All the methods described above to solve the problem “the profile could not be loaded correctly” work on all versions of Windows compatible with the Chrome browser. However, if you use XP, the location of the desired User Data folder will change slightly. Instead of the Users directory on drive C, go to Documents and Settings. Further, everything is as described above.
Reasons for the problem
We quickly figured out how to solve the problem, but it’s worth understanding why not
managed to load your profile correctly. A similar error occurs due to a malfunction in your Google Accounts. That is why all the above operations are aimed, first of all, at deleting user data from your computer.
Do not worry that personal information is permanently deleted. In fact, a backup copy of all materials is stored on Google’s servers . Thanks to this, during a new login to the account, the data will be automatically downloaded and installed instantly. So we figured out what to do if Chrome couldn’t load your profile correctly. It should be said that the problem is quite common with all the advantages of this browser.
Task "Fox"
If Firefox cannot load the profile, it is recommended that you create a new one. To start, close all browser windows. Remember that all actions with profiles are performed using the “Profile Manager”.
You can call it by logging into Firefox with a special parameter - p (or ProfileManager).
We enter the “Start”, run the “Run” command, in the window that appears in a special field
"Open" we type firefox.exe –p. In addition, you can use the "Browse" button, indicate where the firefox.exe file is located and add the key at the end: -p. You can also achieve what you want thanks to a shortcut from the browser.
We right-click on it, select "Properties" in the menu, go to the "Shortcut" tab, add the -p switch to the special "Object" field. Before us opens the "Profile Manager." It will help to create a profile on any drives (even network drives), as well as in any computer directory. In addition, here you can rename or delete a profile.
The power of a new profile
When creating, as well as choosing for an updated profile, the old
will remain in the same place, but will no longer be used. Click on the "Create" button for a new profile to appear. We see a window with instructions. We study it. Click "Next." After that, the “Wizards” dialog box appears, in which we enter the name of the profile to be created, and if you want to place the profile in a place other than the default, select the desired folder by clicking “Browse”. After that, click the "Finish" button.
Congratulations, profile created. Select it in the list of profiles and click on the “Launch Firefox” button. In order for the “Profile Manager” to appear when the browser starts, uncheck the “Do not ask” box. A browser will open in front of you, in which all the settings will be set to "default", and your bookmarks and extensions will disappear, possibly leading to incorrect Firefox operation.
Remember that all the settings remained intact in the previous profile. To return to its use, you need to run the "Profile Manager" and the required name. Typically, the profile that was installed by default gets the name default. Remember that if the profile has changed direction or you no longer need it, you can also delete it or rename it, as was suggested with the faulty options. Here again, the “Profile Manager” will help you. The profile system has proven effective. You can separately configure the browser for several modes, for example, work (necessary documents and work bookmarks), home (various kinds of entertainment and leisure), children (bookmarks for games), simplified (only the most necessary for working with the Internet, if your computer is used close people who have not yet mastered the intricacies of the Web).
