Windows 8 Startup screen crash for only 1 admin account

I've had my windows 8 desktop for over 2 years now and I tried to log in to the administrator account.

But when I entered the correct password into it. The Startup screen opens but only shows 2 apps (Windows Store and Photos) and continuously blinks. I would post a screen shot,but it blinks too fast preventing the command. It continuously flashes from the incomplete Startup screen to a black blank screen back to the Startup screen.

I dont have the dump files from the SF diagnostic tool as this problem prevents me from clicking or entering any of the apps.

I know for sure that this is only an isolated problem with the administrator account as when I log into other admin and standard user accounts and the guest account, everything still works perfectly fine.

I scanned for viruses and found nothing with Norton 360 full system scan.

Im not sure when this started to occur as I haven't used the account for over a year.

I just want to know if I would be able to fix this problem or should I just delete this admin account and then create another admin account?

I uninstalled Norton 360 using the app u linked me

Then I ran the commands as seen in the screenshot Screenshot1.jpg

I tried logging in again but there is still the same problem
Also after these commands, the blinking seems to be much more faster than before
