Windows 10: Can't switch users after update 1909 or some updates related to 1909

I can't switch users anymore ever since some 1909 updates as far as I can remember.


By saying CAN'T I mean, the switch button or function which appear in start or login screen is no more.





Is it just me?


Anything I can do to fix it?


Even after quite a few cumulative updates for 1909, the issue still remains.

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!

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

Feature Update version 1909

Hi ErhanKarabekir,

I am an independent advisor and a Microsoft user like you, and I would be happy to help you out with this.

Actually just as of yesterday, Microsoft announced they will be pushing this to more users and not just as an optional update now.

They state that "Our rollout process starts several months in advance of the end of service date to provide adequate time for a smooth update process."

Source:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/releas...

The list of known issues on that page is also small now, and relates to Avast and AVG products. If you are not using those products, it should be safe to install the update for 1909.

I hope this has helped you. Please reply and let us know if you have any further questions and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!

Regards,

-Ashton
