Stuck on Black screen showing mouse curser after trying to switch user
Hi, I am really hoping someone might be able to help me with this issue. There seems to be a lot of info on the issue, but none of it has helped me with my problem.
So awhile back I created a new user on my computer for the purpose of having a user name to set up a ftp server. Lets calls this user name Bob-ftp, and my regular user is Bob. Today I made the mistake of attempting to switch to Bob-ftp, and my screen just went black and showed a mouse curser but nothing works, although I am able to move the mouse around.
Steps I have tried so far
1. Restart the computer
2. Tried to boot into safe mode by running a command prompt off a boot usb, it seemed to boot into safe mode because the mouse curser was larger, but I was still unable to do anything
3. Tried to do a system restore, they all failed
4. Tried rolling back a bunch of hot fixes they all did nothing
5. Tried sfc scan now, did nothing
6. Tried the hot keys to switch displays, the menu popped up(first and only thing I have been able to get to pop up) but no other displays show up... I only have 1 display plugged in
7. Plugged in old hard drive with windows 7, and am now booted on it
8. Browsed to users folder, and Bob-ftp isn't even in there at all. Although if I remember I set this user up somehow be inactive or something, I only wanted it for the ftp server which it worked for.
What I think is happening is that when I boot it is autoloading into Bob-ftp since none of my Users have passwords. If anyone has a way I can make it do back to trying to load into Bob, instead of Bob-ftp. I believe that would fix my issue.
