Windows 10: Interactive sign-in process initialisation failure.

My Aspire Aspire 3 Windows 11 10 months old has without me doing anything a frozen power button. After 2 days I pressed button and a message "interactive sign-in process initialisation has failed". If I attached this Acer to HP Stream Windows 8 using a USB transfer cable could I reboot the Aspire and if so how ? Also could I reload Windows 11 onto the Aspire using this method ? Any advice much appreciated.

Sign-in process initialization failure

Message popped up (computer hadn't been used in several days, just noticed it when I was straightening up the desk it was on):

Sign-in process initialization failure-

Interactive sign-in process initialization has failed. (OK box)

Facts:

-Bought September 24, 2018

-Preloaded with Windows 10 (no recovery disk in the package)

-Mouse is locked out so cannot press 'OK' using it and no cursor present for use with the finger/key pad (pressing 'enter' has no effect)

-Do not know how to get past this message to attempt any of the suggested start up repairs, clean boot, etc.

Any suggestions?

Interactive Sign-In process initialisation has failed - Annoyance...

I too have the same problem... I'm running Windows 10 v1703 (OS Build 15063.674).

My computer stays on 24 x 7 and I have an account logged in for plex (normal user), my wife logs in and out (normal user) and I login and out (admin user).

Possibly once every 1-2 weeks I get the error when logging out of my admin account "Interactive sign-in process initialization has failed. Please check the event log for details".

Pressing ALT TAB I can change the focus to the dialogue box and press enter ... it disappears, but then in my case reappears. I can only reset or hard turn off my computer. Once in a while I do notice my Logitec G510 keyboard tries to initialise the display
then it blanks out and the dialogue box is displayed again.

If I don't logout, but just switch user instead, then when the new user account is displayed, I just turn off my screen, I never get the issue. That said, I'd prefer to logout my admin account when I'm not using the computer.

I thought it may be some corsair/asrock/afterburner monitoring app failing to close down on logoff, but can't see anything particular in the event log, it just shows the source of the problem to do with 'winlogon' process.
