Windows 10: The remote procedure call failed and did not execute AND I CANT LOG IN SO NO SEARCH BAR OR...

The error message appears when I try to log in using my PIN so I can’t use the search bar, run diagnostics, check files or ANYTHING. Everything I’ve read so far about how to fix it assumes I’m already logged in

Installed Windows 10- now cannot get started at all- "remote call procedure failed"

Hello,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

From the description provided, I understand that Windows is prompting you with the error message
The remote procedure call failed and did not execute at Start up.

As an initial recommendation I would suggest you to check the status of Remote Procedure Call locator service. Make sure the Remote Procedure Call status is Started and set to Automatic. RPC Locator should be set to Manual. Follow below.

a. Click Start and type services.msc in the search box

b. Search for the Remote Procedure Call locator service

Run System file checker tool in Windows. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
  
• 
  In Command prompt type
  sfc/scannow and press enter.
  
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• 
  Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
  
• 
  In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  
  DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  

• 
  Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.
  

As a work around, also check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different user account.
