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.
