Windows 10: Windows 10 returns to logon screen immediately after successfully log into Administrator...

My laptop is a Thinkpad T430 running on Windows 10 Education 10.0.18362.836 Version 1903.

It worked well in the past year with one Administrator account, which is set up with a gmail address and uses fingerprint or pin to log in.

Today I decided to change the account type to user account to increase security. I created a new account with my current outlook account and set that account as Administrator account. Then I immediately set the original account as user account without sign out or sign in the new Admin account. After that I rebooted my machine.

Now, on the logon screen, I can see my newly created Administrator account and my original account. I can sign in my original account by fingerprint or password as usual. However, every time I sign in the new account with my Microsoft password, after the dialog terminates the system immediately returns to logon screen. I tried many times, but this loop never ends.

I am sure I entered the correct password, since I tried some wrong passwords and the dialog failed, and I changed my password once.

Another thing is, in my original account, when I want to run something with Administrator privilege, UAC dialog shows up. If I try to enter the password for the Admin account, the screen blacks out for a few seconds and tells me "the user name or password is incorrect". If I use my fingerprint, it tells me "The requested operation requires elevation" since my original account is no longer administrator. It seems that the Admin account is now corrupted and I can do nothing about it.

Also, account.live.com shows the history of my outlook account, which is also my new Admin account, has successfully signed in for a few times in the past few hours, which is corresponding to my failed attempts to actually log into Admin account at logon screen.

Now I am totally stuck. Please help me regain my Admin privileges.

Windows return to Log In Screen immediately after Success Log In

Hello all,

I'm facing this problem with a second account (simple user without password) that i have in my computer.

When i press the Login button, the Desktop screen it's appear for 2-3 seconds and it get me back to the Login Screen without doing anything. It is look like a "fake" log out.

And I mean fake because, with an Administrator user account i can log on normally. Also, the same time i can see that the other account who's fascinating the problem it's still logged on.

I looked at the Event Viewer for errors and i get this all the time:





I made an another account as the previous (simple user) and i can log in normally.

Any idea of what is's going wrong with this account?

Thank you

I suggest you to enable built-in administrator account from safe mode, log-in with that account and troubleshoot the current user account.

Step 1: Start computer in safe mode.

  Type Settings in the search box on the desktop, select
  Settings.

  Scroll down to Advanced startup, click
  Restart now.

  Click on Troubleshoot, Advanced options, and Startup Settings.
  
• 
  Click Restart, select Safe mode and then press
  Enter.
  

Step 2: Try to login to your temporary user account, enable built in administrator account and try to change the account settings.

• 
  Press Windows + X key together on your desktop screen.
  
• 
  Click on Command Prompt (admin) to open
  Command Prompt.
  
• 
  Type the following command and hit Enter:

  (Check for the spaces)
