Windows 10: Username change caused serious problems

Hello Folks,
I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems after a Username change.

My daughter got a new Lenovo Ideapad 520 for her computation studies at university about a week ago, and this i7 Octacore with 16Gb RAM and Windows 10 is certainly fast, and has great graphic quality.

Everything was going perfectly until she decided to change her Username last night, the process of which she obediently followed correctly after looking it up on the Microsoft page.

Just after that, on the next startup, things started going seriously wrong. The computer slowed down and icons stopped working on the menu bar. She was lucky enough to be able to make a backup of her work onto an external HDD in time, just before everything stopped working.

The only thing that worked after a start-up was the short cut (shift+left mouse-click on the re-start option of the shut-down box), to be able access the recovery menu.

First, we tried the restoring point she created after she got her computer working last week. Things seemed to work for a while before things started slowing down again, and even shutting down took ages.

The next thing we tried, was load up the hard-disk-image she had made a week ago, and when that was done everything was back in working order at the usual speed - just for a while.
After half an hour things started going wrong again, along the same lines.

So... the third thing we are trying, is a total factory reset, which is of course taking ages.
We started it at 1 o´clock in the morning, and now it is 8.45 in the morning, and it is still at 12%.

The impression I get, is that the Username change last night coincided with a Win10 forced update (all updates seem to be forced with Win10...), and that this update has really made a mess, and continues to mess up all remedial actions.

The problem with the updates is that it doesn´t even tell you what´s going on, let alone allow you to choose whether you want it or not, or even postpone it.

I wonder what will happen once it finishes its factory-reset (tomorrow, perhaps?) and Windows 10 starts updating itself. It seems like a vicious circle.

I wonder if anyone has any ideas... apart from returning the laptop, which is still on guarantee...

I would be very grateful for suggestions, opinions or anything that could help.
Thank you very much in advance for your possible answers.

Cheers,


:)
