    Thank you. They told me to call customer support. I will have to do that tomorrow. Thank you for your time.

    Open an ElevatedCommand Prompt, and run the following commands



    sc sdshow plugplay
    REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-18" /S
    REG QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-19" /S

    None of that would have worked. I contacted Customer support, they transfered me to the technician. The technician tried this and similar things but to no avail. Finally they connected me to the higher up technician and he added files and did a bunch of stuff I couldn't keep track of. Apparently, files were missing from system32. Four hours later, it is fixed!

    Nice one - sounds as if you finally got through to Level3 support, which are the only guys who actually know how to read an MGADiag report (and have the tools to back it up).

    Sounds as if he did an SFC scan and fixed the problems it highlighted.

    Glad you're sorted!

    Good luck
