    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!

  3. Windows 2004 update from effects of regedit or scripts?

    IMO, no.

    I would suggest reading the list of Known Issues.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...indows-10-2004

    There is also a currently running thread here on Windows 10 2004 issues -

    Known and Resolved issues for Windows 10 May 2020 Update version 2004

    Additionally, there has also been a change in how Microsoft handles attempted forced installs of the ISO on a system that has a block.

    I was able to force install it in early June, and I tested it for a couple days before rolling back to 1909.

    It will now stop the install, tell you your PC is not ready, and gracefully exit the installer.

    So that's a "tell".

  4. update from 1909 to 2004

    Change of message on Windows Update as regards 2004

    I would suggest reading the list of Known Issues.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...indows-10-2004

    I was able to force install it in early June, and I tested it for a couple days before rolling back to 1909.

    Microsoft apparently has now decided to block force installs.
