The problem is simple. When I type next command in elevated command prompt new user that can log in should be created:

net user UserName UserPass /ADD

After that command execute I should be able to start process and to log into machine as that user:

runas /user:UserName "cmd.exe"

After typing in password for user message I get is:

RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd.exe
299: Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed. 

But command is successful if I run it with /noprofile option. Also user created like this is not able to log on computer, log in fails with message:

User profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

OS is Windows 8.1 (original not pirate version) upgraded from Windows 8. I suspect that this is some Windows configuration error so it would be nice if one could point me in right direction.
