Windows 10 - I can’t log in even though the password is correct and I am connected to the internet. If I try to change password, it loops back to the login screen. Any other option still requires password, “ command prompt “ or “ safe mode”. . I tried lots of things. I have a bootable USB and I can see that data is still there. It seems to be some configuration/ user profile corruption.So, to avoid any confusion I am stuck at the login screen. I can modify, add, delete files if I boot from the USB.
