Windows 10: Win 10/1909 Unfinished Install

I have had Win 10/1909 installed and working on a Dell Precision PC that originally was intended for another purpose. Unfortunately, I don't like the PC's name I entered during the original W10/1909 installation and want to change the PC's name. I want to start using the PC in question as my general use PC. Although this problem probably has come up in the past, how do I change the name of the PC I previously entered. My apologies if the answer to this question is already in the archives somewhere, but I couldn't find it. At 83, nothing comes easy any more so please treat me as an only moderately sophisticated user. Oh yes, I still have the ISO disks for several Win 10 versions including 1909 as installed on this PC. Other than the W10/1909 files, there has nothing else been loaded on HD of the PC in question. Thank you, in advance, for advice, assistance, and/or instructions on how to proceed.

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

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!
