User Icons Doubled After Update

Hello,
My 3000 N100 (0768 - A49 running Vista Business) did a curious thing after a Windows update. It created 2 sets of user icons. In other words, it created an identical duplicate set of the original 2 user profiles/icons that I created (one for admin, the other for daily use), so that when I log on, the screen displays 4 user icons instead of just the original 2. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter which set I use to log on with, because the computer environment where I end up seems to be right and I see no difference.
This doesn't seem to have any bad functional effects (though I don't really know for sure). It's just really curious and very annoying.
Also, I'm pretty sure this happened after a Windows update and not a lenovo update. It was a very big batch of updates from Microsoft, so I haven't isolated which particular one might have caused it.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Solved!

Hello,
it seems that update KB938979 and sort of biometric software, may be fingerprint reader are
causing problems.
See here just a little scrolling down or here.

    Here comes the/my solution:
    Remove Sophos Antivirus
    Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
    Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
    Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
    - Dock
    - Language has been reset to English only
    - Expose & Spaces
    (- probably all personal settings?)

  • Link icons missing after updating to 18.1.0 Illustrator

    Hi,
    After updating to 18.1.0 of Illustrator CC, I the link icons to assets in a file are now longer visible in the links palette, whether embedded or linked.  Is this a bug or something I can fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi SuperSimes,
    Thanks for posting the snapshot. I am able to reproduce this issue at my end also. I have updated the Illustrator Engineering team about this issue and they are looking into this.
    Till then you can try to re-size (maximize using the gripper at the bottom right of the panel) the "Links" panel so that all the embedded/linked files get listed in the Links Panel.
    Please let me know if you have any queries regarding this.
    With Best Regards,

  • Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

    we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
    It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

    Unfortunately this link does not help.
    We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
    My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
    I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.

  • Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

    After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

    Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

  • Siri & voice to text icon disappeared after update

    After trouble shooting at the Apple store last night, I updated my operating system to 6.1.  Now the icon for voice to text is missing from my messaging choices and Siri is gone as well....thanks for your help!

    Voice control needs to be turned on in the Privacy settings options...
    If you're still having problems with audio sounds not playing (like ringing, notifications bells & beeps, or audio from videos or podcasts) like I did, this is what you do:
    Go to the Apple store and tell them of your issue.  One question they will ask is if the phone has been exposed to any humidity.  They will take your phone to the back and look inside with a microscope and determine if a particular connection on the pcb is corroded. 
    If you're under warranty, or close to the past expiration date, they DO have the option to exchange your phone for a new one.
    (there are other methods to clearing this issue, such as turning it completely off, cleaning the ports with an alcohol damp qtip and/or doing a complete reset)

  • [Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

    After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

  • Help! Icon present after update to iOS6.1

    Hi guys,
    After I made the update on my iPhone 4S to iOS 6.1 it seems that some times i have the connected icon present (like in the picture attached). I've checked everithing and it also appears when no app is active (I close them all) and also the bluetooth is turnned off and even some times it appears.
    Any ideeas?
    Thanks

    At least I identified the icon, this is the icon, but the problem is that it appears near the volume even when I don't have no application open...
    And also I'm not connected with my iPhone to any WIFI and not even with 3G on...

  • Icons MIA after update

    I've just updated my Apple TV and all the icons except "Computer" and "Settings" have disappeared. I unplugged the device for 30 seconds, didn't fix the issue. Also restarted and reset. Both did not work. Noticed that the location is blank after the update, but couldn't figure out how to set the location. Could the missing location be causing the issue? How do I get Netflix and NHL plus all the other icons back? There is a game on tonight!

    I restarted the computer. Nothing. For the heck of it I restarted it a second time. Now it works. Icons are showing up.
    Go figure.

  • Possible to not alert users to restart after update is installed?

    Hi,
    We have installed WSUS 2012 and we have approved a few updates to a test group and once the updates are installed the user is asked to reboot, is it possible to remove this? 
    The user will shutdown their PC anyway later in the day and restart in the morning when they come in.
    Regards

    once the updates are installed the user is asked to reboot, is it possible to remove this?
    The user will shutdown their PC anyway later in the day and restart in the morning when they come in.
    First, I would suggest installing the updates later in the day so this isn't even an issue.
    Second, you can delay the reboot initiation/notification for up to 30 minutes after the
    completion of the installation of the updates.
    So, in the above scenario, if the workday ends at 5pm -- Install updates at 4pm. The WUA will notify users =once= around 4:30-4:40pm, which is a Good Thing for them to get a notification.
    I would NOT recommend suppressing a reboot-required notification, but it can be done by configuring the policy setting
    Remove access to use all Windows Update features.
    Also note that Bruno make some good points about users who do not reboot. You need to have a plan for those scenarios as well.
