The Userenv 1517 event normally means that a third party service has a handle on something in the profile not allowing the profile to unload correctly. Most of the time it will be due to something has a registry key open in the HKCU hive which is the ntuser.dat file. The biggest culprit is usually the Antivirus but other 3rd party services/applications can cause the same problem.

What you can try to do is download UPHClean from our download center and install it. This will try and force any handles to close allowing the profile to unload.

How or what do I do with event ID 1517?

Windows saved user MyDomain\MyLogin registry while an application or service was still using the registry during log off. The memory used by the user's registry has not been freed. The registry will be unloaded when it is no longer in use.

This is often caused by services running as a user account, try configuring the services to run in either the LocalService or NetworkService account.
