Windows 10: How long does it take to update from 1909 to 2004 on an HDD?

Hello, I have Windows 10 set to delay feature updates a year so they can work all the kinks out. my current build version is 18363.1556 and I use Windows 10 Pro. Excluding the time it takes to install, what is the downtime (as in the time I can't access my computer whilte its restarting/updating) for the new update? I hear this new version takes away how long it delays feature updates as well, is there a way to edit group policies to re add that? Are there any screw ups I need to know about like having to reinstall audio driver stuff like i had to do with 1903? I love my computer a lot so this stuff scares me, especially since the nearest repair place is an hour or two away EDIT: A week or so I had windows update tell me i'm not up to date but display no available updates, I assume because 1909 is end of life. Do I have to worry about games or such not working on older versions of windows 10?

:)

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!
