Magento 2 admin auth panel not displaying

Question

I have been trying to find a solution to this error for nearly 2 hours now in vain.

I recently downloaded Magento 2 and set it up in my localhost windows.

When I go to my admin page, the sign in panel which is supposed to display (from tutorials I've watched) isn't displaying, instead I'm only getting this plain color background.

the default store front (localhost/magento/) shows up with the basic header and footer with the message "CMS homepage content goes here."

Has anyone had the same issue/is familiar with this issue? If so, help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Tim

@MGento could be a duplicate, though my solution was different to that given on that question. — TimothyKA, Dec 04 '18 at 05:25
@TomothyKA, I don't see any difference between the accepted answer of that question and the solution for this question. By context, both the questions are same and the solution is the same. Please have a look. — MGento, Dec 04 '18 at 05:31
@MGento Look at my comments to the solution below. What fixed my issue was provided in the Github link (not the actual code provided). — TimothyKA, Dec 04 '18 at 05:41
@TimothyKA, then I wonder why the solution here, is marked as accepted ! It confuses the readers. — MGento, Dec 04 '18 at 05:44

I tried the code provided above and got:
"There has been an error processing your request Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons."

I then tried the code provided in the github link:

replacing: (:138)

--> $realPath = $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path);

with

--> $realPath = str_replace('', '/', $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));

which turned out to work!

Thank you both for your help, I really appriciate it!

NOTE: I tried combining both to see what would happen and it gave me the first error message.

EDIT: I made a typo in the code that solved the issue: instead of --> "$realPath = str_replace('', '/', $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));
it's --> "$realPath = str_replace('\', '/', $this->fileDriver->getRealPath($path));"
