    Can't sign in after resetting computer

    I have an IBuyPower pre-built pc and I have never had issues with it until recently. Full story is I updated my graphics driver (GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER) and I was unable to use display ports for my monitors. HDMI worked but display didnโ€™t display anything. I tried multiple fixes and none worked so I decided to just reset the computer after 2 years. After resetting, I get the error when signing in โ€œThe User Profile Service failed to sign-in.โ€ So I rebooted my computer in safe mode with networking to sign in. Now when I sign in it brings me to the โ€œThis may take a whileโ€ screen and after that it is just a white screen with a mouse. How do I fix this?

    the reload of Windows may have been corrupted somehow, or the drive is dodgy.
    did you โ€˜reset keeping everythingโ€™ or โ€˜reset keeping nothingโ€™?

    I would create a USB stick using the Windows Media Creation Tool and reinstall from scratch.
    backup your personal stuff first!

      I reset keeping nothing and my things are backed up on OneDrive. I canโ€™t access the computer at all so I may need to use the Windows Media Creation Tool on a separate computer. Thanks for the reply.

            excellent.
            so you made a new image on a bootable USB via the creation tool and reloaded a fresh copy of Win10?

                Sorry for the late reply. Yes, I made a new image on a bootable USB via the Windows Media Creation Tool. Fixed all my issues.
