Quick, practical add-on for and anyone else hitting an immediate logoff after signing in: that symptom most often comes from either a corrupted user profile or Winlogon being altered (malware or a bad value for the shell/userinit keys). and pointed in the right direction — try the least-destructive fixes before formatting.

  1. Backup first. Boot from a USB/Linux live image or Windows PE and copy the entire user profile folder (C:\Documents and Settings\<username>) to external media — Desktop, My Documents, Favorites and any mail stores. Scan that backup with an offline AV before restoring it.

  2. Basic repairs to try (in order): run a disk check, scan with a rescue/AV disk, and check the Winlogon keys. From an admin command prompt or recovery environment:

    chkdsk C: /r

    To check/fix Winlogon values you’ll need a bootable WinPE/BartPE or another working Windows machine. Run regedit, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, File → Load Hive, open the offline installation at

    C:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE

    give it a temp name, then navigate to

    Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    and confirm/set:

  • Shell = explorer.exe
  • Userinit = C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,
    Unload the hive and reboot. Back up the hive file before editing.
  1. If the profile is corrupted, fix the ProfileList entries (HKLM...\ProfileList) — look for duplicate SIDs where one ends with .bak; rename and set RefCount and State to 0, or create a new admin account and move the old profile data across. To create a new admin from a command prompt:
    net user tempadmin Password123 /add
net localgroup Administrators tempadmin /add

If none of the above works, a Windows “Repair” install (boot the XP CD and choose Repair, not a format) will replace system files while keeping data and programs. Always keep a tested rescue USB and regular backups to avoid a full reinstall next time.

Either a virus or a corrupted windows installation. You can boot from a live cd and try to remove any infections. If that fails, you will need to re-install.
