Locked out after interrupted update
I was in a hurry, and shut down Windows 10 during an update.
Now I am locked out. My password does not work.
I turned the laptop off 3 times at the login screen and on the 4th start I was in Safe Mode. I selected a restore option and was asked for my password. It was accepted, so it is still good.
It appears that the problem is a defective login process. Is there any way, short of a reinstall, of fixing it?
It would be *really* nice if MS would tell what was preventing shutdown. I've hated messages that just say there is a problem, but give no details, since day 1.
