Windows 7 Updates Causing Problems
I have read complaints from incensed Windows 7 users about user profiles becoming corrupted and unusable and it seems that Windows' updates are one of the culprits.
Is that true?
I am now very chary of allowing any updates from Microsoft and have stopped all updates.
I think that for security issues, my antirus program could take care of them!
In fact, I have changed from Windows XP to Windows 7 just about a year ago and I have had my user profile corrupted three times within this period!
I was using Windows XP for many years and I have never encountered any corrupted profile problems - not a single time!
This makes me regret ever changing to Windows 7!
Each time my profile is corrupted, I have to rebuild my new user account from scratch.
The Fixit that is supposed to remedy the corrupted profile problem just didn't work because I have tried it from another user account that I have opened prior to the corruption of the account.
The whole action of the Fixit started and ended within the new user account and there is no way it can fix the corrupted account in this way.
Please let me know how I can just save ONLY MY USER PROFILE so that I can reinstate it and only IT in case of future corruption of the account.
This will save me a load of work rebuilding everything from scratch.
