How to: Resolve the error: The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID c8a3ba26-d087-4784-ba9c-1cab0e0369a6) threw an exception when using SharePoint 2013

I am having a hard time fixing this error. I have reinstalled SharePoint like 10 times, created new databases, different installation options and even resorted to using all English products (Windows Server 2012 and SharePoint 2013) to avoid any potential issues regarding the languages. I have ran out of ideas so I have reached out to Microsoft and expect hopefully to hear back from them with a response on this.
