  2. Sign-in method not allowed

    Thanks for replying, but this doesn't help since the only user on the computer is the administrator which is the account that cannot log in. So step 1 does not work since the Win key is not recognized.

    How do I log into the computer with the only user being the one that is locked out?

    Thanks.

  3. Sign-in method not allowed

    Hi,

    This issue may happen if you're signing in to a computer using non administrator ID.
    In order for us to efficiently you, we just have few questions for you:

    • Were there any changes made to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Is your computer connected to a domain?
    • Have you checked the Group Policy if the "Allow log on locally" was setup to allow users or domain users?
    Regards.

    User.000 issue after updating to 1909

    I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

    After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
    One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

    I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:
    • Rebooted at least 6 times
    • Enabled hidden Administrator
    • Booted into Safe Mode
    • Changed ProfileImagePath
    • Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
    • Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
    • Rebooted and had temporary profile
    • Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
    • Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
    • Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
    • After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
    • Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
