In the past 2 months, I have had to reset Windows twice:
1. I thought that I had some bug as programs weren't loading and I couldn't get to Kaspersky.
2. Six weeks later, I got a Logon_process_initiliazation_failure error. Automatic repair couldn't fix it and I couldn't reboot/repair from the recovery drive. I didn't have any system images stored.
I am have now reloaded Windows from the recovery partition and Kaspersky from disc. I am installing Windows Updates which is taking many hours. Can I backup this updated version of Windows to use for a future reset? I have wasted an entire day on this fiasco.
I was going to try the system image backup in File History. Will that save windows updates or just my personal files?
Also, I haven't been using File History. Will that save my files even if I have to reset and reload Windows? I don't have alot of files and tend to keep them on an external drive, but I would love additional backup options.
Lastly, is there anything I should check in regards to why I got the Logon error? I hadn't loaded any programs lately and was just streaming from Amazon. I was getting some kaspersky warnings about ads wanting to download, but that was it
