Geez Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Since last week almost every two days I have to restore my backup and reinstall my documents on my laptop computer. I don't know if its an attack or anything but after reboot some system profiles got missing and messed up. It just happened on sunday and was still busy with configurations. Today's mess was the worst of all, my profile, desktop all gone and immediately after system startup boot I got a popup "windows cannot find your system profile for desktop". System restore doesn't exist everything wiped and failed to restore. (OS: windows enterprise anniversary LTSB). May be some member have a solution or experienced something similar and can give me some clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially HD/SSD and RAM. 3. Check your registry! And the worst OS ever Win10 (aka 8.2) is still early beta status... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israeli_Eagle Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Logging should never be disabled! Otherwise you would never know what really happened. And computers are not really like a toaster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straycat19 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Have you done any tweaking or modifying to the OS? LTSB isn't like other versions of Windows 10 and tweaks have to be thoroughly tested since you can do things with it that other versions will not allow you to do, and this includes trashing the system.

LOQUILLO Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Maybe it's a harddisk drive problem, use CrystalDiskInfo for to know hdd health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, in my opinion, is not a hardware problem - it's too personal. My free advice; immediately create an image backup and then a separate 2nd backup of your data. Then get a new Win 10 image from M$FT, making sure it's genuine, and reformat/reinstall from scratch with genuine M$FT software if at all possible - certainly Win 10. M$FT's not perfect, but billions of installations prove they're not out to destroy your data.. (or else they'd fail to do that). Don't do any customizing tweaks you don't thoroughly understand. If you do, make sure you document how to 'undo' the tweak; especially one's to group policies and/or the registry. When you go to recover & reinstall your personal files scan them 2X with 2 different AV products to make sure you're not reintroducing the problem. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tweaking whatever that's the reason for Enterprise LTSB. I've used windows 10 since it preview stages and not such problems ever occurred (windows has its own problems ofcourse) it only happens with this version. 1 hour ago, davmil said: Eagles comments about Win 10 notwithstanding, this is one sick puppy & in dealing with 100's of Win 10 systems, I've never seen or heard of anything remotely like this.
