So, yesterday, the wife was on the puter and had to reboot for updates that MS released (IE9 RC and Silverlight 4.0.60129.0). She logged in and continued her day.
This morning, I boot up and log in only to find that my desktop had gone away. Instead of a "welcome" message while logging in, it says "Preparing your desktop" and gives me a brand new desktop, like I had just installed this user.
A simple restore to yesterday morning, pre-updates, solved the probs. I have my desktop back. And, I've reinstalled the updates, one at a time. No more issues.
Anyone else run into a prob like this?

- This is probably the longest I've ever had a Windows machine run without having to restore it to scratch. I'm used to restoring to "factory" about every 2 yrs. I've run with Win7 since new in 2009 and only recently (Nov, '14) restored to clean up the machine from all my 'xperimenting. LOL!! I may never need another machine.
Upgraded to 10 when it was still free, then installed 2017 update.
. Good to hear you got your box back, though.
