    ntuser.dat file keeps on growing to points boot time becomes longer then few hours


    currently larger then 800MB. I had boot time of 3 hours just to type this question... what can I do? I was talking with windows support, they suggested full and offline scan (did that with no threats), after that they told me to create new acc and said it would fix it 100% (fact that it did nothing suggests it did nothing)… I found this reddit post that had fix ("https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/bmh6do/dell_1809_black_screen_after_startup/"). it lowers boot time but file still grows and grows larger and in fast time boot goes back to more then 1 hour time... before all that I had ti reinstall windows more then 10 times in one month (80% of those were clean installations)…. Does anyone know what should i do?

    :)

    WaasMedic file keeps growing

    Simple question: Why is my WAASMEDIC file growing every single time I log on to my computer? It started out in the KB realm, but has now reached 5.93 MB. I know this isn't a huge bite of space, but if it keeps growing at this pace, then it will be soon.
    Anyone?

    windows.edb keeps growing to huge file size.

    After the first index process it was around 350MB which is good, but a few hours later it was 500MB and then later 750MB. By Sunday evening it was 2.1GB. Again it is still only indexing 21,300 files, so why it keeps growing I don't know.

    I don't really want to just turn it off as this does not identify the actual problem / cause.

    Do you have any other suggestions / thoughts.

    Thanks.

    ntuser.dat file keeps on growing to points boot time becomes longer then few hours

    Microsoft Solitaire Collection not working even after resetting Windows.

    Hi,

    As well as the 3 ntuser files listed, there are 5 ntuser.dat(*****).regtrans-ms files and 2 ntuser,dat(*****).blf files.

    Do I copy those as well or unselect them like the 3 you listed?
