Win 8.1 does not remember last user after reboot - [Solved]

<< < (17/21) > >>

JohnCoool:
Thanks but I don't use fast boot.

JohnCoool:
What is the difference between the refresh and reset options in the advanced menu?

Boggin:
A Refresh reinstalls the OS but gives the option of retaining your personal stuff but not installed programs, whereas a Reset removes the lot.

This is why a repair install is preferred because it doesn't touch personal stuff or installed programs.

JohnCoool:
I will keep trying until next Sunday then I will consider running the repair.

But most probably by then I would have either fixed it or ruined even further...

I have a couple of months working Back up image. So it is not a big deal.

Boggin:
Did you have the same Safe Mode problem when you made that back up or don't you know - you could have backed up a corrupt system and given that a sfc /scannow had found problems.
