Could not log on into my computer after KB4571756 and/or KB4574727

I got an error message, that my password was incorrect. (Tried about 20 times!...Plus I have never had problems with typing it wrong or anything)

I have a desktop and my password is easy. I called Microsoft and they said my Windows 10 Home Version 2004 installation was corrupt. So we downloaded an installation file from Microsoft on another computer.


Meanwhile, I was really upset that I had not made recent backups. I managed to get into my computer using system restore and my password. So now, everything is backed up.

I know the system restore is a temporary fix, but I would love to have held off on reinstalling Windows until after the election.

I also cannot figure out how to create a password reset disk.

I click "Create a password reset disk" and absolutely nothing happens.



I also had problems in another computer today after KB4571756 and/or KB4574727. It seemed almost like a new installation. I had problems with the password too and Microsoft wanted a PIN...it was so bewildering. I ended up setting up a PIN although I didn't want to. The other is a laptop with a dead battery that is plugged in 24/7, so it isn't going anywhere.

1. 2004 seems less stable than it should be.

I am happy at 1909 for the moment.

Create a new local account and give it super admin rights for just such an emergency.
