Win 8.1 does not remember last user after reboot - [Solved]
Boggin:
It's my understanding that Hiren loads Windows so I can't see the point of booting up with that.
Can you remove those files while in Safe Mode ?
I would create a system image before removing anything.
After you have run the dism /image:x:\ command using your partition letter, follow that with a sfc /scannow as I've previously described to see what that reports.
JohnCoool:
The problems are why worse that I thought possible.
Here are the new updates.
I wanted to try your idea of moving files from safe mode but was unable to reach it. I have restricted access to safe mode and can only be done if I create a new user to remove the restriction. But I was unable to create a new user. It would not allow sign in then I checked the information on the internet and they had a tip from registry but that wont work unless there was already a login into that profile to create an entry in the registry to edit it.
Then I tried to reboot into safe mode to login to that account but the system crashed while trying to boot into safe mode (2 times). (I still doubt that system files can be moved from any active windows partition and will test it later to see if you are me is correct)(Let's do a virtual bet on this)...
Anyway I will do the same thing I did last time to remove system file which was either from Wondershare live boot (similar to Hiren-boot) or repair-boot-disk.
I don't know if we should now close the thread because now the last user can be remembered. It might be because I removed the patch yesterday or because I created a new user.
Boggin:
I believe you are correct that you cannot delete a file when it is in use.
However, see if this free program will help, although I'm not sure if it will work on system files - https://www.malwarebytes.com/fileassassin/
DeleteDocter in Hiren's may do it for you where you can drag and drop a file into the UI.
It may help if you can take ownership of the file.
That registry hack for adding Take Ownership to the right click context menu can be useful in these situations.
JohnCoool:
I managed to move the files same like I did last time. In case you need the program, here is the link. Just boot from it. Use Rufus to create it and it needs to connect to internet to add some files.

I did the DISM after I moved the files same like last time from Win 8.1 ISO and then ebooted back into it and did the SFC the way you said also from that location and rebooted
The log files are not showing any corrupted files
I am running one more sfc from within windows now just to be sure. Then I will start testing all the problems I had before...
Boggin:
That's great news - it sounds like you are getting somewhere.
Are the users still acting up or have you also sorted that ?
