When in win10:

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:

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!

 

How do I fix a corrupt user profile in Win10...

I do not have this problem right now but have had in the past and know someone who did recently. I Previously I had upgraded from Win7 and had to go back to Win7 because of too many problems in the update to Win10. I did this four times then did a clean
boot via doing a Shift-restart and following through the menus. The clean-boot cured all my problems and now the boot up time is at least three times faster. Over the years using Win7 I have had to repair a corrupted User profile. I tried using the method
I was able to fis a corrupt profile with Win7 on Win10 and found that the Win7 method does not work on Win10. As such I just want to be prepared and have the information on file.

Is the method you list above necessary for a standard user profile or can just copy my personal stuff over to a new user profile as BulldogXX suggests for a standard user profile?
