Login hangs

briandresscc,

This may seem too simple, but, have you tried pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL to make the sign-in screen appear and enter your PIN or password?

~~~~
If the above does not work, press the power button to turn on the PC, and, just as Windows starts to load (round dots rotating), press and hold the power button down until it turns off.
Repeat the same actions two more times, on the third (sometimes fourth) try, instead of the round dots, the PC boots into recovery mode trying to do a fix. This usually fails, and then you are given the recovery/repair options.

In the Windows recovery environment, on the Choose an option screen, click: Troubleshoot >
Advanced Options, and then click: Startup Repair

~~~~~
If the Startup Repair does not help, suggest you run the System File Checker (SFC) from the Command Prompt.

This time, on the Choose an option screen, click: Troubleshoot > Advanced Options, and then click: Command Prompt
Type the following (inside the code box) in the Command Prompt and press: Enter

sfc /scannow

It may take some time for Windows Resource Protection to find integrity violations, if any are found.

briandresscc,

Please go back to Post #2, and get the computer into Safe Mode using the Power button.

In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, next window, click: Troubleshoot > next window, click: Advanced Options, and at the next window click: Startup Settings

At the next window, Windows 10 notifies you that you can restart your device in several boot options, including enabling Safe Mode. At this window, press: Restart

After Windows 10 reboots, you can choose which boot option you want enabled. To get into Safe Mode with Networking press F5 or 5.

In Safe Mode, does your User account work OK, and does your wife's account work OK also?

To find the cause of the troubles, you can try a Clean Boot:
Clean Boot - Perform in Windows 10 to Troubleshoot Software Conflicts - Windows 10 Forums


However, you could also try running the commands below (one at a time) in a Command Prompt (as Administrator) to disable automatic startup repair at boot:

Code:

bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No

Code:

bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy IgnoreAllFailures

If in the future you wish to undo the commands above, use the following:

Code:

bcdedit /deletevalue {default} recoveryenabled

Code:

bcdedit /deletevalue {default} bootstatuspolicy
