Windows 10: No updates available from version 1909

I have a Levovo G505s laptop (with AMD quad-core 1,9 GHz processor and 12 Gb RAM), which has been running on Windows 10 version 1909. Today, I received a notification saying that the support for that version is ending soon and I should update my Windows.

The thing is, my Windows Update claims that the May 2020 update (i.e. 2004 / 20H1) will be available to me soon, but nothing has happened for months. If I click the 'Check for Updates' button, my Windows claims that there are no updates available, and I haven't found any means of downloading the 20H1 update externally from some website.

I asked a more IT-savvy relative, and his only guess was that my laptop is too old for the Windows update. Can that really be the case? Is there a way to force my Windows 10 to update itself, and/or would re-installing it help?

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!
