How can I fix this “Sign-in process initialization failure” problem?

Recently, I tried to hard reset my computer. I think that, in the process of doing it, it failed, then it restarted my computer. When I tried to get back on it, it immediately goes to a black screen with a prompt saying, “Interactive sign-in process initialization has failed. Please check the event log for details.” I cannot press any key shortcuts or anything, but my keyboard works fine. I can’t go to the Troubleshoot page. I’m stuck. Is there a fix to this?

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    A Windows reset can result in a corrupt operating System, the best option would be to perform another reset to stabilize your Windows installation.

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Options - Reset this PC

    Choose to keep your files and apps, just your files or to keep nothing

    Then start the Reset
