So, yesterday afternoon I start up my laptop after classes and I type in my password and... I get this weird message. Instead of 'Welcome' I get the message 'Preparing Desktop' which takes forever. I found that I can put the laptop into sleep mode by closing the lid and then resuming from that, but then when I log on it takes me to this generic Asus desktop and says that I'm using a temporary profile. Today the same thing happened again. I've also found that rebooting AGAIN will cause it to function properly, but I really don't want to have to do that every time. Does anyone know what's going on and how I can stop this from happening again?
I just ran a full system virus scan (I use the free version of Avast!) and it found nothing. I'm at a complete loss.
Also running (the free version of) Advanced System Care, which should be doing things to help prevent this sort of thing from happening. So I don't know what's going on or how to fix it and I am losing my mind.
Reformat, reinstall, and learn to Microsoft Security Essentials
>>2328>>2329>>2330It's not a virus. Check your settings.
just to be clear, this is Windows 7 we're talking about here? Also what model laptop?
