Q. When I enter the windows password login, the system automatically logoff and is back to the Login Window again.

Solution:

The problem might be with userinit.exe not present under below two location

1. Check if userinit.exe file is present in %WinDir%\system32\ folder eg. C:\Windows\System32

2. Start the Windows registry. (you can refer to FAQ - How to start the windows registry editor?)

Go to

HKLM\Software\MicroSoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

On right side pane check for the entry and it should be present as given below:

  Userinit = C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe,

Note: a comma should be present after the command line c:\Windows\system32\userinit.exe

Note: You can check these by using some Bootable cd such as BARTPE/ERD Commander, if you are not able to check normally with windows.
