    Let’s try the method here:

    “I started investigating and I found a JUNCTION in c:\users\me\AppData\Local called "Application Data" that pointed to -> c:\users\me\AppData\Local
    I'm not sure if that was the issue, but I removed that junction, and then I did icacls c:\users\me\AppData /q /c /t /reset
    After doing that, Ubuntu starts fine and asked me for a username/pass and gave me a shell!”
