Last night I turned off my computer in the user select screen, as I do most of the times but when I turned it on today everytime I enter my user credentials the error The User Profile service failed the sign in popped up. I tried rebooting my pc and it still popped up but then I tried entering the password again and it worked. As it seems, my user preferences has been lost, along with my desktop customizations and the files that I had in the desktop, but when I enter desktop from C, everything is there. I am afraid that when later today I turn it off it will happen again. Any ideas? Thx in advance. In case you need it I have Windows 11 with AMD 5600 and a RX 580 graphics card.
