It did appear to, although this was a sign out/sign in situation, not
a "real" boot.

Deleting a profile is not something I would recommend in any
situation, nor would I do it myself. I appreciate the help but this
entails *soooooo* much work having to recreate everything from scratch

Something I haven't mentioned before is that I have autologin going at
boot up so it could be related to that.

I will do some more testing when I need to reboot again and follow up here then.

Thank you
