Windows wants me to restart evey time I log in
Well not every time, but every time AFTER the first login. I start up my computer and log in, no problem. Then I log out, and log back in again. As soon as Windows finishes loading the desktop, the following pop-up message appears:
You must restart your computer to apply these changes.
Before restarting, save any open files and close all programs.
[Restart Now] [Restart Later]
Needless to say, I click on "Restart Later". A bit of background info:
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) from Windows XP Professional. Win 7 was a clean install (obviously) but I did use the "Windows Easy Transfer Wizard for Windows 7" utility to transfer my files and settings from XP to 7. So I believe that this may be due to some setting or parameter that was transferred from XP.
The second point of note is that this only occurs when I completely disable "User Account Control" (which is always). As a power user who follows common-sense computing practices, I find UAC extremely intrusive and annoying, so I refuse to use it. Besides, I still use "old" programs that won't easily run otherwise because they are unsigned.
I even tried disabling all non-M$ services and all start-up programs with "msconfig" and the message still appears on the second and subsequent logins. Any ideas?
Thanks,
John
