Hi,
I switched on my laptop and put in my password and this message came up.
The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.
Any ideas on what to do. Thanks.

wait a few minutes, if it doesn't start, reboot

To reboot you hold the power button down to shut down, then restart as normal. Don't pull the wall plug.
another (more drastic) option is backup data and factory restore, instructions in the speedup sticky thread

OP, your best bet might be to use Macrium and completely backup your drive then restore it.
