These look to be promising! I've been fighting (another) chest cold and was stumbling out of the center when this problem snagged me (delaying my out-stumble for an hour or so...)
Checking the event logs, I see that license logging service had not been disabled. I also saw a report of a bad block on the drive containing the user files. I've run newly-arrived MS patches and am now re-booting into a file system check. If this doesn't work, then I'll look into the backup agent snag and command line utilities.
