Auto Login Blocked by blue box with 2 buttons that must be pressed

RickC said:

That seems logical. It should be possible to test by using Windows+R to bring up the Run dialog then enter Taskmgr.exe to see if it pops up the blue box in question.

No. It just pops up the "task Manager".
I will try the repair install and see what happens.
Thanks,

The Repair install did not work. I just kept getting taken in a loop.

So, I have long been a user of Macrium Reflect. What a wonderful program for those of us who don't have the time to try to figure out the thinking of Microsoft's gurus. Enter Reflect. I make nightly "images" of my operating system and, when I have a problem, I just go back to the last Reflect that was working correctly. Problem solved.
I was hoping that I would not have to go back through the multiple Reflects that I have made in the last month or two to find one that does not have the problem with the login. Took me four hours of trial and error but I got one that works and has a lot of my programs installed. I took note of all the programs that I installed on the next one that did not work and I will be comparing the two lists to see if there is one program that caused my auto login problem.
I'll post it if I come up with something or if MS does an update overnight and destroys my computer again.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help. It kinda looks like I have this problem all to myself.
Regards,
Ed

Has anyone else noticed that at the very bottom of the screenshot in post #1 on what appears to be the taskbar there is a lable. This seems to be a phone number with a Beaver Dam, WI area code. Is there something in the start-up apps that's trying (and failing) to dial out?

@deepsix Have a look in Task Manager for any suspicious looking Start-up Apps.

Which would probably have shown up in the .ARN file provided by the OP.

Oh wait... there was no response.
