    I have the following event and message in Event Viewer:

    SOURCE: User Profile Service
    DATE & TIME: 21/11/2012 at 17:45 European time

    ORIGINAL:
    Windows a détecté que votre fichier de Registre est toujours utilisé par d’autres applications ou services. Le fichier va être déchargé. Les applications ou services qui ont accès à votre Registre risquent de ne pas fonctionner correctement après cela.

    TRANSLATION:
    Windows has detected that your Registry file is still being used by other applications or services. The file will be "unloaded" (correct translation??). The applications or services which have access to your Registry risk not functioning correctly after this.

    Is this complaint and "unloading" action by Windows normal o_O

    EDIT: And, looking at my Event Viewer Log, this complaint recurs regularly: at times every 24 hours, at times every few days.

    This is a normal complaint - it's caused because WSA is monitoring Windows itself as it loads/unloads user accounts. It's monitoring from the SYSTEM context so it can see everything as it happens, which is why the monitoring persists between login/logout.
