Hello.

Been googling, and learning to use the recovery console. I have the issue where a antivirus deleted my files while fixing a virus. Now I instantly log off windows whenever logging in. Checking the system32 dir, I do not have userinit.exe. So I am pretty sure that is the problem. I do not have the wsaupdater file.

I copied a userinit.exe file from a good windows to my usb. I just need to know the commands to move it from a flash drive to the system32 folder.

Seems like this often fixes the situation. If not - I may be back.

Thanks!
