Hey guys my computer boots to the login screen but i cant log in. When i click on of my user accounts the screen flickers for a second but nothing happens. Its just stuck at the login screen with no error message. Anyone know of a solution?

I have the same issue. Neither Admin or user button work when you press them just come back to the same login picture with no option to change or enter data

System restore says there was Critical Update but failed to restore to the point before it so Im going back a few more.

had to go back two versions / system restores before it worked.

Seem the Critical Update was 11/11/2015 so automatic

Any solutions ? (other than never update again )

In the same boat...

I am having the same issue. Neither of the two users I have are able to login. Same symptoms, click on a user and it spins for a minute and then just displays the two users again.

Unfortunately, I am not able to get to a restore point prior to 11/11/2015.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tom

Microsoft System Update Caused This!!!

I found this issue on another forum: KB3097877 causing severe difficulties for some Windows 7 users November 2015 Windows updates

The KB 3097877 was causing this issue.

I followed the instructions and I am up and running. Thanks so much microsoft you freaking hacks.
To open the System Recovery Options menu on your computer

1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer using the computer’s power button.
2. Do one of the following:
   
   • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
   • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to repair, and then press and hold F8.
3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight Repair your computer, and then press Enter. (If Repair your computer isn’t listed as an option, then your computer doesn’t include preinstalled recovery options, or your network administrator has turned them off.)
4. Select a keyboard layout, and then click Next.
5. On the System Recovery Options menu, click a tool to open it.
6. Select Command Prompt
7. Type or paste this line in to the cmd prompt window ( be careful to type it exactly with all punctuation marks)
