Unable to log in to Windows following a BSOD event.
Unable to log in to Windows following a BSOD event.
Region keyboard remained unchanged. Logging into any account works fine in safe mode, but the problem reappears when exiting. I’ll attempt UBCD now. Thanks!
System Interrupts seems like a process, but it shows up in Task Manager to display hardware interrupt activity. These interrupts happen when the CPU pauses to manage other tasks—like moving your mouse—which occur very quickly so you don’t notice. However, this might be caused by a GPU overload on the CPU. Your account settings may have been altered. The affected registry area is HKEY_CURRENT_USER, located in C:\Users\<YourName>\NTUSER.DAT, and it’s hidden. You can recover by performing a System Restore to revert changes before the issue started. Boot from Windows installation or USB, choose “repair…”, select a restore point before the crash, and follow the prompts. If that fails, enter Safe Mode to create a temporary account, then migrate your data to a new account. You should be able to log in with the updated account.
Thanks, I don’t have a restore point, so it seems I turned it off at some point. I’m following the solution you shared from @MangetsuNeko and if that fails, I’ll try your advice and create a new account in safe mode, then move my files over. Also, I notice no temporary account appears when I switch to safe mode—I can log in with any account without issues.
You can log in using your account even in safe mode? That's unusual. After switching to safe mode, launch services.msc via the search bar in the start menu or by pressing WindowsKey + R and typing services.msc. In the services window, verify that the User Profile Service is active and set to start automatically. Performing a check disk and system file verification would also be beneficial if there are any issues... (Execute from a command prompt with admin privileges) chkdsk :C /f /r sfc /scannow
I just tested each account individually in safe mode, and everything loads correctly on the desktop. The user profile service also functions properly in safe mode with startup enabled. I plan to attempt creating a new account again after exiting safe mode to see if it works. I’ll also check the disk later—does the scan ensure no data loss or file corruption?
I reviewed the C:\Users directory and found no TEMP folder. It displays desktop icons along with all my account information. When I restart in safe mode, it shows a list of accounts and lets me select any one. Choosing "Ante" gives access to its desktop and files, while selecting another like "Ante Work" provides the same for that account. For some reason, there seems to be no TEMP folder for the temporary safe mode account in C:\Users. I didn’t receive any notification about the temporary account either.
