Windows 10: Can't login after update.

So every time I update Windows 10 I always seem to have a problem logging back in. The update loads, it restarts, I get to the login screen and type in my password, only to have the loading icon freeze next to the Welcome.

Usually, I'd go through the hassle of uninstalling the updates by using Shift+Restart, Troubleshoot, Advanced Options, and then select Uninstall Updates. However, last night after seeing if the update would work this time, which it didn't, I found online a guide and one of its steps was to turn off the Secure Boot Control in BIOS. With nothing to really lose at this point and gave it a try and what would you know? I was able to login. The only other time I could do that after an update was through Safe Mode.

So I guess what I'm asking is, what is causing my computer to freeze at the login after an update?

For some more context, my computer isn't brand new, it's Alienware X51 R2 desktop and usually I only have to uninstall the 'latest quality update' when trying to fix it. Any help would be appreciated since this has bother me for a while now.

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!
