Windows 10: C:\Users Directory

Good Afternoon,


I have a machine that is a member of a domain. The user account logged onto the machine is a user not an administrator. I run a portable program requires no prior installation as an administrator. I enter domain admin credentials. These domain credentials have never been used or entered on this machine before. The program runs. In C:\Users\ I now have a folder for the domain account I just used to run the program. Is this normal?


Thanks!

C:\users directory?

My C:\users directory shows up as C:\Public\US SEAL 7.ico. Anyone know what's up with that?

Thanks;

 

C:\users directory?

The dir of what would normally be "C:\users" is literally "C:\Public\US SEAL 7.ico" even tho it contains an illegal character ..."\". Here's a picture of the directory structure:





As you can see, "Public\US SEAL 7.ico" is a directory but something else is odd. When I'm under the directory of "Public\US SEAL 7.ico":





I can't seem to get a picture of it but if I click in the address bar, it says I'm in the "C:\users" directory. I know the users directory was OK earlier today and was showing up in the root of C:\ as usual. I can't figure out what has happened to cause
the dir structure to look like it does now. I looked around and US SEAL 7.ico is a file in an icon's directory I have so it's a valid ico file but I don't remember doing anything with it. That icon's directory is in the root of C:.

Hope this helps.

Thanks;

 

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!
