Windows 10: Event ID 1002 Error 80070005 occurred while verifying known folder . .

There are a few entries in the eventlog file reading like this

==
Event ID1002: Warning - Microsoft-Windows-KnownFolders: Error 80070005 occurred while verifying known folder {62AB5D82-FDC1-4DC3-A9DD-070D1D495D97} with path 'C:\ProgramData'.

Various folders are involved.

These folders exist on the C-drives where Windows is installed.

I can trace some entries in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\{62AB5D82-FDC1-4DC3-A9DD-070D1D495D97}
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions \{62AB5D82-FDC1-4DC3-A9DD-070D1D495D97}

Maybe ... deleting these entries would help???

Appreciate advice on this.

Thanks!

Windows 10 - Still Warnings 0x80070002 occurred while verifying known folder Event ID 1002

On a clean fresh build with Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (I relocated using the way Microsoft wanted the path for documents and downloads) - where the system has no errors from chkdsk or sfc or device manager showing

I get the warnings Windows 10 - Event ID 1002

How to fix the
System systemprofile issue... so here's the (new) lowdown:

• Take a quick look in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile.

Nothing special there, right?

re Roaming, there's an empty folder trail - C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows

• Compare this with C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows ...

Start Menu, SendTo, NetworkShortcuts ...

• (Optional) Backup

The "System Profile" SID registry key - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-18

The Default Folder - C:\Users\Default

• Change the 'System ProfileImagePath' - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-18

from %systemroot%\system32\config\systemprofile

to C:\Users\Default

• Reboot, check for events...

Solved?

@Microsoft - Given that this is FAULTY Configuration by you - when will the hotfix be available. The issue has been in existence for several years and a solution proposed by a user and NO COMMENT from you. Is this solution good for Windows 10?

What else will it break as there are several other folders located in the area where changing this location will cause an issue.

Do you have to copy the files/folders to the default user location?
