Windows 10 Login issue
Hi all. Hopefully my issue can be solved easily, but it is an issue that I've never encountered before. Basically, I just fired up my desktop PC and when I input the password, it isn't accepted by Windows, even though every other machine, laptop's, Xbox's, accounts on my phone and tablet, all accept the current password, just not my desktop. So just to ensure I was inputting the correct password, I went into my Windows account on my laptop and changed the password. That's fine, it worked, and I can still sign in to every device I own, except of course my Desktop PC. It's doing my head in. I've tried holding shift and restarting so I could start the repair options, and I tried resetting the machine, right back to getting rid of everything, apps and settings included, but nothing works, at some point I always end up having to put a password in, even after supposedly resetting the machine. I even updated it by clicking on the restart/off button on the screen, didn't change a thing.
I guess the only thing I haven't done is try to recover, or reinstall the OS using a system image. I'd prefer to not have to reinstall, but if that's my only option so be it. Hopefully though, someone here will be able to help me before I take that step.
Many thanks in advance.
