Login, Not your run of the mill problem.
Google, ask windows, and seven forums, pull results that are not fixing this weird issue.
Previously, Windows 7 would just boot up and go to my desktop.
Now in the last 3 days it will boot and sit a the login screen with my "Administrator" account and "Other User" appears to the right, with [switch user] underneath.
OK I think what ever, just click on my admin account, however, once clicking my admin account icon it starts to log in but never shows my desktop and just pops me back to my login screen.
So, obviously there is a problem with something, so I did 3 things.
1. Checked my user accounts, as I only have mine, there was guest and homeusers.
2. Disabled [switch user] option by registry edit.
Now the "Other Users" account does not show, cool. But still stuck on login.
3. Unchecked "Users must enter a... on this computer" using the "control userpasswords2"
Selected my admin account, I have no password so left that blank.
Reboot and whohoo it logged in but instantly kicked me back to my login screen.
Now the only way I can currently log in is by just holding down "Enter" key and watching it attempt to login about 3-5 times, until my desktop finally appears.
Safe mode boots right to the desktop, so it's something with my account, or software.
As far as I can remember I only installed the new Avira 10 antivirus. My others systems still have Avira 9 on them, with out these issues.
I'll uninstall Avira to test to see if it is the problem.
Any other ideas of why I get kicked back to the login screen over and over, until it decides ok you can log in now.
