| Sep 6, 2011 at 21:39 | comment | added | Naftuli Kay | I can't get into any account. The welcome screen is displayed and nothing else. I have no visible options. | |

@TK: Strange, as the Welcome screen does not use that privilege for anything. Try logging in as another user, or through Safe Mode. If you manage to get in, check Event Log (eventvwr.msc).

I tried to allow my user to do this by enabling INTERACTIVE, BATCH, and my user for that privilege, and now Windows won't get past the "welcome" screen, it just hangs :(
