I tried safe mode, and I got the same result, it just loops right back to the login screen. I also tried a system restore, from about 12 hours earlier while it was working fine. I was only given 2 options, about 12 hours earlier and 3 hours earlier. Is it possible to do one from further back?
I find myself unable to get past the login screen. Windows boots normally, it doesn't hang or freeze...it takes me to the login screen as expected, and I type my password in as usual. It accepts this without error, so I know my password isn't wrong or anything like that...but after displaying...
