Hello EnterpriseArchitect, Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
Hope the reply provided by Thameur-BOURBITA is helpful.
Meanwhile, this may mean that there is a problem with the system status, which needs to be checked and repaired. Here are some possible methods to fix this issue. Check the event log and look for any events related to domain controller failures or entering safe mode. Check the integrity of system files: Use the command sfc/scannow to check if the system files are damaged and repair them if necessary. Check startup options: Use the msconfig command to check the startup options and select "normal startup". If none of the above measures are effective, consider performing a system restore or recovery.
I hope the information above is helpful.
