No login screen
Hi, I've got Win 7 Ultimate running for about 3 months without any problems. After running Auslogics disk defragmenter option "Defragment and optimize" and rebooting the OS I get a black screen with the Win 7 logo, access options and shutdown options (see attached screenshot) instead of the login screen. I can use the available options without any problems and the OS shuts down/restarts/ sleeps etc. normally but I cannot get the normal login screen.
I have tried to run Startup repair and memory check but no errors were found.
I am wondering if a vital file has been moved by the optimization process and needs to be recovered. The progress bar (green with Microsoft logo underneath) only appears for a few seconds before giving way for the screen described above.
I don't think it is the BSoD problem and would be grateful if anyone could clarify what is going on.
Cheers.
Chris
