This issue should be caused by delete the Windows SteadyState folder directly. I suggest you follow the steps below to manually remove it and see the result.1. Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple Operating Systems, you can press the F8 key when you see the boot menu. 2. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press Enter. 3. Log onto Windows by using the Administrator account or any user account with the Administrator privileges. 4. Delete the Cache.wdp file under drive C. It seems that the issue is caused by Windows SteadyState has not been removed completely by simply removing the folder. We recommend our users to remove the program via Control Panel, add/remove programs. Let's manually remove Windows SteadyState by using the following steps and see the result. ----------------------- 1. Open drive C: Click Organize menu-> Folders and search option. 2. Click the View tab. Under Hidden files and folders, click "Show hidden files and folders." 3. To display other hidden files, clear the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" check box. 4. Click the "Hide extensions for known file types". 5. Click OK. After that, delete related registry keys and files ----------------------- 1. Click Start and then Run. 2. Type in regedit and then click OK. 3. Navigate and delete the following two branches: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Computer Toolkit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Windows SteadyState 4. Search and delete all Windows SteadyState related entries. 5. Delete files under C:\Program Files\Windows SteadyStateHope this helps! Sean Zhu - MSFT
