Windows 10: How to get original user 'name' back after Win 10 changed to 'name.000

Some Win update (maybe KB4505903 & KB4508433) has changed my user name, into ‘name.000’. How can they do that??? They moved everything from my personal user directory ‘Name’ into a new user directory ‘Name.000’. Lost info and my Outlook 2013 won’t work & what to do with My Original Directory (I want it back)! Would uninstalling the updates above help anything??? Or do I move everything - will it happen again?

Also, I've done many suggestions re loggin into a 'temporary account'. That is not the problem - I checked it up & down.

Thank you for your help. *Sad
