Were there an update recently that could trigger my computer load his new user profile instead of my own profile at startup?

I get the grey Dell Inspiron screen at startup instead of my profile, and all my display settings and startup programs disappeared. This corrects sometimes when I restart and sometimes I get the grey screen again. This morning (after downloading some updates last night), I got a blue screen Uni with my own icons, but all my parameters display including my image of the office had been reset. I did a system restore once before and that fixes the problem, but the problem started again with the gray Inspiron screen yesterday.

We have not seen messages indicating that the recent updates are causing problems to user profile, rarely if ever I heard of updates causing corruption of the user profiles.

Common causes of corruption of the repeated profiles:

1. bad or, failing hard drive, no spare parts no sectors left.  Run chkdsk on the drive.  Get a diagnostic utility of disk from the web site of the manufacturer of the disc and check the disc.

2 - bad RAM, run a memory diagnostic test.

3 - viruses and other such parasites.

4 applications - bad or ill-conceived.

5-bad or incomplete discharge of the user, ususally caused by #4 hive.  Something is trying to write to the user hive or maintain the registry handles open when the computer is currently stopped.  Install the Microsoft user profile Hive Cleanup service

  • Recently, I had to create a new user profile on my computer and am currently loaded with my accounting software of the migration to the new profile.

    I am hoping there is a simpler alternative to migrate my work in lightroom, as if it were a new computer.  The paths are the same.

    I am a little disappointed because I thought at the very least, to logging into the software would reach out to the cloud and find my complete collections.

    After all, I can view on my mobile.

    In any case, I just want to get my work without having to do another import.   There must be a reason behind these weekly backups right?  Is there a way to recover them?

    Hi moto66,

    Greetings.

    What version of LR you use.

    You need to transfer your catalog and images on the new user account.

    Once you have all the images and catalogue on this new user account, given correctly, related images you should be able to see your collections.

    And also make sure that there is no broken in the catalog and images link, if this link to find missing persons of the images while transferring data to a new user account use

The application performs a treatment and if it is impossible to delete some files because of the activity of the user will sleep for a few minutes before trying again.

    Hi, I recently bought a new model of more than 16 gb iPhone 6s from a known retailer. The phone wasn't demo for sale but he convinced me saying his seal all packed and quite simply not been used and do not have the phone to the ear, but that he provided separately. But now, after opening the seal that he had to upgrade the iOS and I was skeptical since, but he said its normal to update for all the phone manufacturer before the new iOS. the phone feels very well and works normally, but I feel fuzzy and would like to know if the phone is like nine normal phone or not because I paid him the money together without discount. Also the logo behind apple not incorporated that fine and feels separately. Help, please

    Is this retailer authorized Apple dealer?

  • I would like to completely remove the nightly build of firefox. I searched for this info already and you have not found anything that could help. I am pretty new to linux. I am currently running ubuntu 11.10

    I'm just trying to remove every night of my computer. I deleted firefox 10 already. I'm going down to firefox 4, but before I do, I want every night of my computer and it is not listed in the Installer package synaptic or any other. There's a reason I want the old version of firefox, but I won't get into that right now. It is a totally different matter. But I'm pretty new to linux, so please try to give directions or answers in a way that I will be able to understand if possible. Thank you for your time.

    10 a 1 of Firefox is an older version (Aurora/Nightly) alpha.

    Is this a version that you have installed yourself from the Mozilla server or is this a version from the repositories of Ubuntu?

    In the latter case, you will need to use the installation and remove the item from your Linux distribution software.

    If you have installed Firefox yourself, then you can simply delete the Firefox installation directory.

    You can find the latest version of Firefox in all languages and for all systems operating here:

  • Can I move my current operating system that came with the computer on a new hard drive?

    My family got a hp pavilion m7560n some time ago.  Last weekend I heard on that clicking sound from the hard drive I think.  Since then, I only heard once or twice.  All that I know is that clicking may mean the hard drive is defect or on the way that him.   However I don't know if this is the case if the sound starts and stops.

    I want to know if I can format a new hard drive to replace the one provided with the system and always keep the same format as on the system when it was new.  I mean here the operating system and all other programs who came to this topic.  The recovery that are made to work for this computer discs may work on a new drive hard format if it is put in place of the system?

    Or are otherwise free to carry the operating system and other programs on a new hard drive.

    The hard disk provided with the system's 320 GB, I have one that is 500 GB.

    Hi logicman77,

    the recovery discs are meant to be exactly for this purpose.  You can put in a new drive hard (500 GB is fine), and the discs will reinstall XP, as well as all software provided on them.

    The computer will look like it did the day you took it out of the box.  This document will give you details on the implementation of the recovery: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07145

  • My logon user profile not working after a windows update, I can't connect to my computer.

    Last week I got an automatic update of windows on my computer (17 new). After that, I couldn't connect to my computer again. Loading the windows page, it shows two users icons profiles that were created and when I click on the profile of each user, it seems to start to run a function, but it does nothing. It just goes back to the same screen over and over again. I don't give myself the chance to write a password. I tried f8 system restore and system repaired without success. I have also run the comand line regedit and realized that the two user profiles are missing from here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList, what can I do now?

    Hi, thanks for your help

  • filling of form of process after update user profile

    You have created the first name change task in the process of definition of this resource. Here, you mentioned that your work has been triggered.
    So that means that when you see the resources of this user profile, then you can see the change of name the task.

    Am I wrong?

    Sorry I did not notice a thing. You're talking about pre fill adapter. So when you create the first task name change in the process of definition of this resource, then you need a PROCESS TASK ADAPTER not PRE FILL for this.

    Your adapter process task copy value of definition to your process by the user.

    Simply create adapter with a variable and a single variable defined logical task.

    Attach it to your job of changing name and map with user definition var > name and adapter return the value in the name of the shape of course.
