Windows updates changes my password??? any ideas why???
This may be easy for someone to sort out for me. i have Windows XP
Professional. I have a password that windows asks me for when I switch the computer on, fine then I go to my usual desktop, then while I'm online a windows update is downloaded and then it asks me to restart my computerto install the update, so far so good, after the computer has restarted, now this is where the problem is, it doesn't recognise the password, si I have to restart the computer and press F8 to go back to last known good configuration, where the compuetr recognises my password and everything is fine again........until I get an update and go through the same commotion again, and as I have to always go back to last known good configuration my computer never gets any updates installed. Any idea why it doesn't recognise my password after an update is installed, its driving me BARMY. Thanks |

As you've discovered, booting to Last Known Good Configuration gets you in. In most cases, this has solved the problem and it isn't necessary to remove the update. In your case, I'd try uninstalling that update and not reinstalling it and see if that fixes things.
