Windows Backup Errors - Cannot Find the File Specified
Hi,
I ran Windows backup and the backup didn't complete successfully due to some files that couldn't be found. The missing files are associated with the UpdatusUser user account. I think this user account is a type of system account that's used for application or program updates other than Windows or Microsoft update. I may have deleted something some time ago in an attempt to remove old software from my system. Is there a way to delete this entire user account and then reestablish it so that it is available to whatever programs use it? I think that if this user account was restored to its "like new" condition, I wouldn't get the Windows backup errors. I don't have a restore point or system image that predates this issue. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Regards |

I resolved this issue.
The UpdatusUser user account is a feature of Nvidia automatic updates. I must have corrupted that user account deleting other software. I deleted the user account and all the Nvidia software and drivers and reinstalled them. My subsequent backup was successful. Regards |
