So why you’re facing this issue? This error occurs when the default folder of the new user account gets damaged or corrupted. While trying to login to Windows PC after the upgrade, the first thing Windows tries to do is to locate the Default folder and if there is any problem with this folder, then Windows will immediately log you out of your device. Another reason for this error to occur is maybe that the NTUSER.DAT file may be corrupted. NTUSER.DAT file stores the user configuration, and it is essential when signing into the PC. If the file is corrupted, then you won’t be able to sign in to your PC.
