    Updated to 1903 but 'user'.000 now created and holds all my user files


    Hi, as per the title. All my pre-update User files are now in a folder with ".000" added to the name. I've already run into problems with programs using the non .000 path e.g. Dropbox. Is there an easy fix for this?

    :)

    Windows 10 Update 1903 renames User fiolder

    After updating Windows 10 with Feature Update 1903

    Users/User is renamed Users/User.000

    and a new folder Users/User created with just a handful of files in it

    So, for example, backup settings for Money are wrong.

    How can this be fixed?

    Windows 10 update: build 1809 to 1903 - new user created

    I updated to 1803 last year. In the process my user profile was changed from "myname" to "myname.000"

    All documents and folders had been moved to the new user in the process of the update. I spent some time updating permissions in Dropbox account, my Network storage and others things to reenable synchronisation for the newly created user.

    Last night I updated Windows 10 to build 1903, and lo and behold, all my documents are now located in a newly created user "myname.000.000"

    I have rolled back to 1809, and documents have been restored to user "myname.000" and Dropbox and Network drives are synching again.

    How can I prevent Windows 10 updates from creating a new user profile or name at each (major) update?

    Updated to 1903 but 'user'.000 now created and holds all my user files

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
