Report any sfc scan results,
Check for windows updates and test the issue,

Hi,
I'm not sure what to do other than make a new administrator user account and see if the issue still happens ?
I'll request some help here I'm not sure why others haven't pitched in
Fancy startup/ Fast boot and a host of other stuff
Cheers.

1.) Download herdprotect: (choose the portable version)

Download herdProtect - Free Anti-Malware Platform

2.) Run the scan.

3.) When the scan finishes, save the results per the screenshot below. Then upload the log here.

DO NOT REMOVE ANYTHING YET. I will advise if anything needs removed when I receive the log.

Just some notes: There are a lot of Live Mesh apps in the Pgms & Feat screen shot in post# 17. Some with odd characters.
Live mesh has been removed from Windows Essentials (WE) 2012 - this is a more stable version than 2011

Canon apps also have odd chars.

Let's see what herdProtect finds before making any changes.

(Live mesh installed itself in 5 or 6 different langages, including Chinese (and Japanese?) by default - hence the plethora of entries for it in Programs & Features. I nearly had a fit the first time I saw it!)

They seem to coincide with the geographic location of the OP, I guess that can be clarified by the OP.

Thanks, I thought geography might be at play, but I never was very good at geography :)
Edit: I need to check my glasses. I thought I saw more / different entries for Canon, not the regional differences. I looked again after you posted the obvious error I made and found nothing to note.

Live mesh installs itself for each language? Sheesh! Thanks, I've never seen that before - even working on machines in different locales.

and hence, the preface Just some notes
