Error resolving template "login", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers

Question

I'm trying to make a Spring Boot Application, however, I cannot get the first page to load. It seems (based on many similar questions asked) that there can be various reasons for this error, however, none of which seem to resolve the issue causing this particular error. I feel like it can't hurt having a few insights into this issue on SO?

Currently the error is:

org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template "login", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
