Windows 10: Win10 2004 Update killed my audio and user profile

Hello everyone,
my system automatically installed the newest windows update at 16.08.2020 with a restart.
I immediately noticed that some minor changes/bugs appeared profile picture is a "pixelated placeholder" and the lock screen function does not work anymore. I could log in my user profile but i got black screen, i tried restarting 3 times but it didnt help. So i activated with the cmd the administratore user profile and after that i could log in my normal profile.
The problem is that i still have minor bugs with corrupted profile e.g. spotlight still does not work and i already tried other solutions from other posts and i have gotten the feeling that my complete profile is still buggy/corrupted. I tried "sfc /scannow" and it did repair sth, but i didnt notice any effect.

Furthermore i had "Voicemeter Potato" and noticed that my speaker with the 3.5mm jack didnt play anymore sound. My headset with usb did play sound. After hours of investigation i reinstalled Realtek driver 3 times but i just get sound from the jack devices when i deinstall the audio driver and do not install one. But i need a good surround driver that cant be the solution. Additionally i noticed that my device had "migration error" which i found at the device manager.


One of the worst problems is that i cant reset my windows version because i activated the admin user profile which was not activated before and now it tells me "i must first delete the additional profile before resetting the windows version".. I cant delete the admin.. I can just deactivate it which does not help.


Thanks for your hopefully incoming help, i had never problems with windows updates.. but this one killed my complete setup

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!

 

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

New Win10 update killed my audio

Since you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest driver of your audio card, we suggest you to follow the steps below to check if the speaker has been set as default in the Playback devices:

• Right-click on the speaker icon on the right bottom of the desktop.
• Click on Playback devices to see a list of devices connected to the system.
• If it is not listed, it is possible that the device has been disabled because of the update. Right click and select
  Show Disabled Devices.
• If your device is listed after this, right click on the speaker and select
  enable.
• Right click on the speaker and click Set as Default option present at the bottom of the same window.

If the issue persists, you can try to roll back driver if it is available in the options. To rollback the driver, you may follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + R on the desktop screen.
• Type devmgmt.msc and hit enter.
• Expand the category you want and right click on the driver and select properties.
• Navigate to driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver.

If the Roll Back Driver is not available, you may try to install an older version of your audio driver from the Manufacturer's website. You need to uninstall first all the devices for Sound, video and game controllers under the Device Manager (HD Audio Device
and NVIDIA Audio Device) before reinstalling the driver.

Let us know the status of the issue so we can assist you more.
