User profile corrupt

I have tried many fixes for this problem, but still not managed to remedy it.

When I log on to try and create a new user account via Control Panel - User
Account, there is no menu bar and there are no user accounts shown in the
window. It will not allow me to copy the files, to another folder.

I have also tried system restore but this just states that I need to restart
to activate this and then I am back in the loop again.

Any help appreciated.

If the profile is corrup, create a new one and migrate to it. Note that
you cannot copy files to a profile until you've logged into that profile -
the new folder structure isn't created until the initial login.

If none of this works, consider a clean install. If backups are an issue,
get a new drive, remove the original and consider it the backup.
