Windows 10: The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded. how do...

I recently got a new PC from a friend of mine. He reset it completely but his windows account seems to still be on it. To get rid of it he gave me his password and told me to sign in and delete the account. Now anytime I try to sign in it it tells me that the User Profile Service failed the sign in and that the user profile cannot be loaded.I know there's a way to fix this through accessing the PC with safe mode and networking on but anytime I try to sign in it leaves me on the loading or welcome screen for hours on end. PLEASE help me fix this. Windows 10

The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded.

Hello,

When attempting to login to my computer, I get the following message:

"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in.

User profile cannot be loaded."

I referred to this Help article,You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error
message,

but the only difference is I only have one user profile on this computer. So, I can't login with another user to go through the steps listed in this post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

"The user Profile Service service failed the sign-in. user profile cannot be loaded"

I was attempting to test making a standard user account and modifying the GPEDIT settings for user settings regarding running updates.

I wanted to try changing the standard user settings to allow them to install updates.

So while logged in as admin I created the standard user then went to GPEDIT and altered the suggested settings.

I then went to login in as the standard user and received this error...

"The user profile service service failed the sign-in. user profile cannot be loaded"

I can't switch user login to admin as no users appear on login screen other than the standard user.
