Windows 10: Freezes after 1909->2004 update

after the latest windows10 update from 1909 to 2004 I started to have some random freeze (without blue screen), sometime one a day, sometime two a day, and sometime no freeze in a day, all was working fine with 1909 (and previously with 1903).

someone pointed out the "intel sata ahci controller" driver that was updated together in this windows10 upgrade: before with 1909 I had the version 10.0.18362.1, now I see 16.8.3.1003. it is possible that this driver causes this freeze? in the hp driver download page or via hp assistant no new driver is available, can I use the previous one or use the generic microsoft one? I tryed to uninstall that driver, but after doing that windows was broken and did not start up at all (then restarted from previous restore point)


if it may help: PC is notebook HP 250 G5, I replaced the 500gb hd with 250gb samsung 860 evo 2 years ago

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!

 

Windows 10 1909 Causes Secondary Hard Drive to not be Recognized

Installing the Windows 10 1909 Update causes my secondary hard drive to not be recognized.

Steps to confirm issue:

• Secondary drive not visible in Windows Explorer
• Secondary drive not visible in device manager
• Secondary drive not visible in disk manager

Steps to replicate issue:

• Installing 1909 update

Steps to resolve issue:

• Uninstall 1909 update

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

 

2004 build

You shouldn`t even consider installing 2004 for at least 4 or 5 months. That is just my opinion / suggestion *Smile

1909 runs great, no reason to update yet.

Roll back or use your disk image to return to 1909.
