    Hi Judy

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. .

    I would suggest you to follow the method give below and check.

    Method 1: I suggest you enter into safe mode and enable built-in administrator and check with the status of User profile service.

    Step 1: Start computer in safe
    mode.


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

    • Here select Change pc settings and then
      General.

    • 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: Enable Built-in administrator.


      • 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:

    • net user administrator /active: yes
      (Check for the spaces)
    d. Now log off from the current user and try to login to the administrator account that is enabled.

    Note: Please follow the same steps and type net user administrator /active: no to disable admin account after the troubleshooting is done.



    Method 2: Try to create a new user account (Microsoft account) and check if you are able to access the content from your computer

    Note: Create a Microsoft account



    Method 3: Check the status of User profile services.

    Steps:

      Services.msc and press Enter.
    • Search for User Profile Service, right click on it and
      start the service.
