Win 8.1 does not remember last user after reboot - [Solved]
JohnCoool:
Is there a way to disable AVG for testing for one reboot?
I tried a couple of things but did not work.
I want to try other methods before repairing or restoring to learn about it (the reason is that I was an IT support specialist many years ago and still do it for my systems to keep up.).
It might have happened after an upgrade of AVG because they release a new version each month and a couple of times I had to change setting after AVG upgrades because the settings would be slowing down the system too much.
But before I uninstall it. I want to try to disable it.
I checked the CBD logs and those are the corrupted files in it that did not get repaired. Some of are created from a patch that I installed to use Aero theme on Win 8.
The files that I deleted are the background ones that show up when logging off from all users and you get a common one. I changed it by removing it and adding my own.
I also just remembered that I locked some *.msc files too.
Here are some of them (corrupted in the CBS log)(I think some of them are related to the patch that I installed and they do not affect the system). I did not add the *.msc because I know that they are locked.
C:\WINDOWS\Web\Screen"\[l:20{10}]"img100.jpg" (This is the one I created and added it to that directory)
C:\WINDOWS\Boot\Resources"\[l:22{11}]"bootres.dll
Lets 1st try to disable AVG then we see other options...

The files that you have attached are not in an openable format, but as they are of your own creation then they would probably be of no use to me.
As some time has probably passed since you made those changes then I doubt your restore points would be of much use, but you could see how far they go back.

JohnCoool:
No the log was created yesterday.
The files are not added. I just pasted them from log to view some details in case you knew about them.
I will update after disabling AVG.

This article may be more current to disable AVG as the previous one doesn't relate to my Kaspersky.

I am in trouble now............
I disabled AVG and did not change anything then I uninstalled it to be sure. The good news is that I was able to back up setting, it is a feature in the newer versions. Then I reinstalled it and added the settings again. It worked well.
Then I tried to do something that I used to do that I learned from Microsoft forums. I tried a clean boot. It is done from Msconfing and then you hide all the Microsoft services and disable the others then reboot.
However, After the reboot it did not come back. I am on a different PC now to log this.
At the login screen it just flickers with a black background. I waited for an hour and no change. Maybe I turned off Microsoft services but I am sure that I clicked on hide.
So the device is not F*d up.
I have Wondershare which is installed on a USB and boots up into an OS called Wondershare Live boot. to solve issues. It has recovery and other methods.
I tried a repair for boot from here but did not help.
I have access to the registry of my Win8.1. I can turn the services back on from here since I turned off services and that is what messed it up. I just need to turn them back on.
Can you check with you friends which services need to be on for it to work again. I could not find proper info online.
This is an urgent matter now. The repair I did earlier might have fixed the other issue I had here.
