    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!

    OneDrive and paths

    How come that Microsoft allows Windows to CHANGE the path given to point to anything with OneDrive, even when I have clearly added another path to my files?! How can this even be legal? I.e. I chose C:\Users\NAME\Desktop for all my downloads, but the Windows kept wanting me to activate OneDrive with every update, so I did, and suddenly the path for downloads was C:\Users\NAME\onedrive\desktop (or something to that effect). Regardless, all my downloads were suddenly not visible on my desktop, but i could find them when opening OneDrive and then moving the files manually to another folder. Sigh. I am very angry! This made me think that I was maybe crazy, and had not downloaded at all. And when I disconnected this computer from OneDrive, all my downloads, all my documents and all my pictures that had been synced to OneDrive disappeared! What a load of **** this **** is! Leave my paths, folders and files alone! I will now willfully switch EVERYTHIN possible from Microsoft to anything else, probably Google: Edge, bye bye, and welcome Chrome. Bing, bye bye, and welcome Google Search. OneDrive, bye bye, and welcome Google Drive.

    How to remove onedrive from C:/users path

    My path looks strange

    Hi,

    I was wondering if my path looks correct. When I start up my laptop (Lenovo Yoga Windows 10 most recent update) I see the following path:

    C:\Users\User\OneDrive\Desktop\

    1. Why do I see Users\User
    2. Does this mean I am constantly saving on OneDrive. That would be a problem as I know that OneDrive only has limited space?
    thanks,

    Naveen
