It sounds as if the latest version of your Account is being corrupted over and over.
- There could have been a recent Update that ruined your account profile.
- You might have accidentally set something in a browser - or a profile that has corrupted your account setups.
- There could simply be a corrupted file in your account that cannot be cleared.
The following may help, IF there is not something IN the account that is causing the corruption.
Other Options
The above answer is actually part of a larger group of answers grouped together in a Post on the Microsoft Answer Page: Temporary profile after Windows 7 update
Try System Restore to "go back to a time and date" when it all worked:
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 😎
Restoring Windows to a Previous Point (Windows 7
For later
One of the things you might consider for this and any computer you have in your home network:
- Keep an extra account on the computer -- with admin privileges.
- Do not use the account.
- Do not "add things" to the account, including extra browsers, shortcuts that are not part of the standard Operating System, and do not use the account to do program installations.
- Do NOT set up the account with a fingerprint Reader.
- Do NOT set up the account with any added security other than the VERY GOOD password that you give to the account when you create it.
- Do NOT create fancy backgrounds in the account, do not change the "personalization" settings, nor any other settings that change the basic nature of the account.
- Do log into the account on occasion to be sure you have access to the account.
Why have the extra account?
It is insurance.
====================================================================================
What if NOTHING works and you really do not want to crawl around in the registry...
Well, you could try a scan of the File System -- this may work if the issue is one of missing or corrupted files:
Using System File Checker (SFC) to Restore System Files
I hope this helps!

No one starts out "tech" savvy. Smiling. It is art as much as science, IMO. You might be best served by creating a new account for yourself and then copying your files / data as described in that first help file. At the least it may solve the immediate issue. Good luck -- I hope this fixes it.
