Yes I am the only user, and before anyone asks no I haven't got it password protected. Seems like it wouldn't matter even if it were if it's going straight to the desktop.

It's always had the log-in page up before, oh well sounds like I'm not going to be able to find a way to get it back. And sounds like for some reason I'm the only one it's affected.

Thanks all

I am the only user on my PC and mine goes straight to desktop when i log in . it only goes to the user log in when I restart from standby

Ive had real probs for the last few weeks with the internet - I can only think its overloaded due to christmas shoppers.

It updates automatically and installs when you go to turn off and usually everything is fine. I turn the computer off last thing and it is when I turn it back on that it goes straight into my desktop instead of the normal screen where you have to log on. If I just log off it goes to that screen. So the problem is at normal start-up when you turn the PC on.

Going to the user accounts doen't help with getting the normal start-up page back up.

I've tried putting the update details on google adding start-up problems but haven't found anything, although there is plenty about what the update is. A security one I think, to do with stopping hijackers.

I asked my daughter and she said she never updates as they often cause problems.
She suggests you look at:-
start
control panel
user accounts
there should be something there.

have you rebooted it . Mine is working ok. Maybe theres some updates that require a reboot. I leave mine on Standby over night and it goes to the page where you click your user name to proceed.

Has anyone operating Windows XP had a problem at start-up since Sunday's update? Since then every time I turn on the pc it goes straight into my user account, rather than the normal screen where you have to click on your name to get to your desktop.
