  1. Windows 10 user profile resetting after startup


    Since approx. mid September 2020, everytime I restart my PC all the settings revert back to default. this includes all my documents, photos music etc are no longer in my user account. They are on the C drive within "users". Nothing remains in the taskbar and I have to set up my outlook account every time. It seems to have started since I renewed my subscription to Kaspersky Total Security. Any advice is appreciated.

    :)
