This article describes an issue that occurs when you use roaming user profiles to log on to Windows 10. To have us fix this issue for you, go to the "Windows Update" and "Here's an easy fix" sections.
Symptoms
If a user profile is configured as a roaming user profile, some applications may crash when they start after the second logon to Windows 10. These applications include Microsoft Edge. Additionally, some users report issues that affect Cortana, the Start menu, and other applications.
Cause
This issue occurs because the profile service unexpectedly resets the permissions on some registry keys during logon.
Resolution
To fix this issue, we have released an update through Windows Update and an EasyFix.
Notes
-
If you run the EasyFix without the Windows Update package, this issue will recur when you log on to the computer the next time. You must install the Windows Update package first, and then run the EasyFix to fix the issue completely.
-
Installing only the Windows Update package will not fix this issue. You must also run the EasyFix solution.
Windows Update
This update is available on Windows Update. For more information about how to run Windows Update, see How to get an update through Windows Update.
This update is included in the Cumulative Update for Windows 10 released on April 12, 2016 and is available in any subsequent Cumulative Update for Windows 10.
