Yesterday, I was trying to update my PC with Windows 7 Home Premium edition, installing Microsoft Silverlight 5 latest versión (KB2977218) via Windows Update option. When restarting my Windows system today, it wasn´t possible due to User Service Profile failure; my account session wasn´t started. So, After many attempts, I had to fix system to stage previous installing Silverlight 5 update. Maybe, in some cases this Silverlight update blocks user account when installing.
