Punt.

I have tried a number of times to illicit from MS guidance on
this one with on nibbles to my fishing.
This is a deep issue with an inner system secret used when
the next layer out "logs" into the inner layer in order to initialize
the security subsystem that lays under all of the upper layer.
This seems to happen if the system is shut down rudely, has
power problem, crashes, at just the wrong time, leaving the
needed secrets in an intermediate state.

The only solution I know of is a fresh install.
If you find another, do please post back, but you may spend
much time trying various things with no success.
