Login Screen Spinning After Password
I'm not quite sure how this had happened, but I had logged into my user account yesterday and my system had froze I did a force quit on all applications + relaunch Finder and had to do a force reboot. Now anytime I enter my password, I'm stuck on a continuous spinning wheel and cannot login.
Steps I've Taken:
-NVRAM & SMC resets with all external components/drives unplugged
-Boot in safe mode
-Full reinstall of MacOS High Sierra
-Run first aid in both recovery mode + target disk mode
Note this is an older mac I have been using solely Windows 8.1 in Boot Camp for the last two or so weeks. I don't see how this would corrupt the drive from a separate partition. I do know that High Sierra has had some major issues as far as bugs; perhaps more so with HDDs. I do not recall setting up root user login or Guest account. Worst case scenario I would have to reformat the drive, which would be dreadful as I have already went through this process a few months back. Any advice would be appreciated
