Windows 7 wont start to user profile after MSE update of 3 April
Hi,
I haven't posted for a while now as everything had been running great, however I now have a problem.
My PC installed an update on shutdown yesterday morning, but when I came to boot it up again a little later, it seemed OK up to the screen with the user profile icons. When I clicked on my icon to log in, all the icons disappeared and I was left with the background only. Rebooted a couple of times, but still the same (apart from sometimes I got to enter my password and then it just 'hung'), so at the next start up booted to safe mode with networking.
From here I was able to go to system restore and noted that the problematic download was an update for MSE (it actually said MSE 4.4.304.0), so a restore to before that event enabled normal start up. The trouble is that at the next shut down/reboot cycle, it re-installed the MSE update and I was back to carrying out a restore. This is the cycle I am now in and need to fix it! I have even removed MSE and re-installed with the latest updates as part of that process, but this little 'important update' keeps coming back to play!
I have not yet followed the 'Windows Update Posting Instructions' to find error codes as I assumed these might not be there with my continual restore actions.
As always, any help would be appreciated in solving this frustrating problem.
Steve
