The help desk has assigned you a ticket stating that one user cannot sign in to their Windows profile. The user has already restarted the computer, and other users can log in without problems. What is the next best troubleshooting step?
Because the problem is limited to a single account, the most likely cause is a corrupted user profile. The recommended next step is to create (rebuild) a new profile for the user and migrate their data. Performing a full Windows repair, reimage, or System Restore would be far more disruptive and unnecessary at this stage.
