With fast user switching enabled - Log off Hangs...



This is kind of annoying, but sometimes when logging off my user accounts to
log in as an administrator, (sometimes in reverse,) or when I'm using Switch
user mode Windows goes through the motions of Switching / Logging me off the
account, but hangs (Fast User switching -) or freezes at saving my settings
(- Log off.)
I usually end up having to hard reboot to clear this mess up.

I tried SFC /scannow from built in Administrator, but the problem persists.

If possible I want to avoid doing a repair install.

Thanks much.
C J.
