Windows 10: A weird NEW ACCOUNT bug after last cumulative update

This is already RESOLVED. I'm just sharing to see if anyone else bumps into this. I can't tell which cumulative update this was but it was released late yesterday. (Does the build number reveal this? 18363.592)

I have 4 PCs in the house and 3 were fine. My main computer, however, rebooted into a generic account. Kinda scary to see all your stuff GONE. A message immediately popped up and said, "We had trouble signing into your account so please sign out." Huh? If you had trouble signing in why sign out? So I signed out, the white balls rolled around, and it signed me back in the right way. And it hasn't come back to haunt me since. SFC passed with flying colors.

Hmm.
