Windows partition boots, but "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in."

I have a computer running Linux, with a second partition with Windows 10 for when I can't avoid it. Having not used that in months, I paid no mind when I got a new hard drive and used the opportunity to reorganize. Previously, both OSs shared the user-documents directories and suchlike, on a third partition. Now, those are structured in a way more convenient to the Linux side, and on a filesystem Windows can't read.


Months later, I needed Windows and this became a problem. I can boot Windows, but when I log in I get an error ("The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."). Can this be fixed by changing files from outside Windows, or do I need to reinstall?
