Windows 10: the local user database handle is corrupt

How can I solve this on my MS Windows 10 - DELL Laptop. All I have wanted to do was to test a VPN Connection and this laptop had to be the server for PPTP and there I have found that the users are not displayed and this message was appeared "An internal error has occurred: The Local user database handle is corrupt." I have tried many searches on the internet but no answer, is there a solution other then reinstalling or reset .In App for Local Users and Groups the users folder is empty and I think is related to above issue.Best regards,Stefan TUDOR

Windows Update Database Corruption

We appreciate the clarification that you have given about the steps given. Though the steps provided are more of a direct approach in resetting the Windows Update database. May we know if these steps have resolved the corruption in your Windows Update
Database?

 

Pending Download - corrupted WU database

This have been working for a while, but now there's another pending update KB4346783 in stalled state. Running troubleshooter only discovers problems in windows update that is partially fixed but not the corrupt database.

I have followed all steps here and the database corruption is still not gone.

Now I can download the package manually from Windows Catalog, but the Windows Update service is unusable.

 

Corrupt tile database - Profile issue?

Having tried all reasonable suggestions I can find here and elsewhere, I've had to open this problem up as a new thread.

My Start button/icon will not open my profile start menu/apps. Winver is Windows 10 Home 1902 (Build 18362.116). Checkdsk/SFC/DISM report no errors. ISO refresh and repair was successful. Start Troubleshooter reports a corrupt file database. No other errors reported. I've tried various registry suggestions like clearing the cache and resetting the layout but without success. I created a new user account which does not have an issue with the Start menu.

I'm left with the conclusion that my current profile is corrupt in some manner. I read that copying the tile database from the "good" new user account to my current account will solve this issue but the TileDataLayer folder does not exist in the "good" new account. I've also read that copying the entire profile contents of the "good" new user to my my current account will solve the issue but this seems a very heavy hammer and also copies the corruption across(?). There must be a specific corruption or associated corrupt files that is causing the issue rather than a totally corrupt current account. I have no other issue with the PC or my current user account than what is reported (and unfixed) by the Start Troubleshooter.
Suggestions most welcome, as always.
