Windows 10 Truncated username in C:\Windows\Users

In setting up a new PC, Windows 10 has truncated my username in C:\Windows\Users from the correct user name (e.g.
absmith) to absmi. Guru Kiran responded to this issue in a previous post, however his suggestions don't really work, or maybe just not in my case. To be clear, I do not need to change my
account user name -- that name is correct. I need to change the name in the
C:\Users folder.

I have several pieces of software that
must be installed in the absmith user folder. They will not install in my current user folder because the name is truncated to
absmi, so I am trying to rename the users folder to the correct name. Guru Kiran suggested renaming the user profile in the Registry, however that results in a new profile where everything previously set up is wiped out and I am back to square one,
or would be if I let it go that far. Complicating the issue are multiple connection and/or activation errors in Event Log, because many of the strings in the Registry have the correct user name, but even more have the wrong one.

I have been through every iteration of Windows since 3.1, and have never before encountered this problem until Windows 10 (1803).

My question is this: Is there any way at all that I can correct this mis-naming problem without have to go back to square one? I would not call myself a "power user", but I am comfortable editing the Registry and making other kinds of tweaks.

 

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.

 

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!
