Last night, I ran a spy hunter program that came up with 65 issues, mostly cookies. I cleaned up those and was required to reboot my computer.

After reboot... the log in screen appeared and the only option was "other user". I tried several things but noted the computer kept going back into a reboot... sometimes the screen would show "My PC", sometimes other things but the rebooting continued.

I tried to go into Safe mode by clicking the F8 and the shift F8, wouldn't work. I tried the "Restart your PC. When you get to the sign-in screen, hold the Shift key down while you select Power
5a774598-9041-49c1-ac51-955242b27bd4_50.png
> Restart."... that didn't work.

Now each time the computer restarts, I get a red screen with:

The local Session Manager service failed the sign-in
The RPC server is unavailable.

And an "OK" button....

When I click on OK, I get the Other User log in which I can't access...

Wait a minute or so , the thing reboots again.

Help

At some point or other you are probably going to need boot media.
I recommend that you use another "working" computer and download the ISO from here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench

Choose Windows 10, the first item in the first drop down (not single language at the bottom)
Next choose your language and your bit version (32 or 64 bit to match your system architecture or in the case of an upgrade, to match your currently installed version of Windows).
That will provide an ISO that will boot your computer, or upgrade or clean install either or both Windows 10 Pro and Home.
Once you have downloaded the ISO you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
OR
Rufus to burn it to a USB ThumbDrive http://rufus.akeo.ie/

When you've managed to boot from the installation media you need to click the Repair Your PC link on the second page after the Choose a Language and Keyboard layout page.
That should get you to the Advanced Troubleshooting options. From there you can try a System Restore to a point in time prior to your having made those changes.
