You guys can then verify the status of the LogonUI file using the same approach mentioned for the dual-boot system. If it is missing, then you need to copy it from the new OS., (Must be the same edition and architecture) that you just install, to the old OS along with the issue.
If you guys can locate the LogonUI file along with a different name, then here is how you can restore its original name:

diskpart
list volume
