@ReedRichards I've done as you suggested - ran Windows Update, then created a new system image on a spare HDD, which is external to my pc. That leads to a few questions:-
1. Do I have to create a new repair disk every time I create a new system image, or would the repair disk I created a few days ago for my previous image be perfectly acceptable for this latest image? I have created a repair disk this time
2. If in the future I create yet another image, can I use that same HDD without deleting the image I have just created?
3. If the answer to 2. is Yes, how do I differentiate between the two images? Should I rename the first image before creating the next image? If I rename the first image, will the repair disk still work with it (in case the next image doesn't work for some reason)?
Thanks - have a good weekend

@penneck there are lots of different ways you can crate a system image. A long time ago i bought a program called Acronis True Image; I have always used that so I'm not really familiar with the Windows built-in system. Thus I myself cannot answer your questions with much certainty. Perhaps someone else can help?
- I imagine you only need one Repair Disk as the function of this is to boot the computer and initiate the restoration process.
- If this works the same way as the rest of the Windows 7 backup then the answer is yes.
- If it works the same way as the rest then the default option is to restore the most recent backup but you can choose an earlier one .

I 've just had a repeat of the problem that started this series of posts off two weeks ago. Fortunately, a Safe Mode start and then look at System Restore Points revealed there was a Restore Point from two days ago. I used that, and the pc now boots up correctly, but what the hell is going on? I have never had this problem before two weeks ago

You don't have any control of what the Windows update dumps onto your machine - it doesn't tell you what its going to do and certainly doesn't ask for your permission.
So you are just running a black box which doesn't reveal what's happening inside.

I have seen an outbreak of "temporary profile" login errors; not quite the same thing as the error you originally reported although along the same lines. Suspicion online is that Microsoft Security Essentials (Windows Defender on 8/10) is malfunctioning and is responsible for these.
