Windows 10: Windows 10 C:\Users\foldername can't be changed

Is this have anything to do with a microsoft account? because I have tried many threads and gone through every single youtube video yet I'm not finding a solution on how to change that user on my C:\Users it have been the same ever since perhaps someone can tell me what to do in this situation and yeah don't worry I tried reinstalling windows many time nothing works.

:)

 

c:\users\public\public documents\xxxxx

robocopy "c:\users\public\public documents\foldername"

robocopy "c:\users\public\documents\foldername"

In your report you left out some essential details, e.g.

• Does the folder c:\users\public\public documents exist?
• Is it a physical folder or a symbolic link?
• What is the error message generated by robocopy?

 

Can't (fully) change foldernames

Windows 10
I have inherited some files in several folders. I need to change the foldernames.

I have changed the foldernames in the usual way (F2). But when I copy or move the folders elsewhere (to the same or other partition/drive) the resultant folder reverts to the old foldername.

The original folders (the ones I inherited and then "renamed") display my New folder names in the regular folder views; and also in the Properties>General tab. However, under the Properties>Security tab, the "Object name" is listed as a path statement which includes the OLD Foldernames. I assume that this is the root of my problem. How can I change the Object name?

thanks




for info:

Windows10 Home 1709

Read-only attributes:
For the FILES inside the folders: The Read-only attributes checkbox is unchecked
The folder itself: The Read only attributes checkbox has a small solid black square inside the checkbox. The label to the right of the checkbox says "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)". If I click this twice (to make the box unchecked) and then commit to the changes; when I come back to the folder it is back in the same condition.

Permissions on the folders are:
Adminstrators: Full control; Modify; Read&Execute; List Folder Contents; Read;Write;
Users: was Modify; Read&Execute; List Folder Contents, Read. But I have modifed it to also include Full Control and Write.

I am the only user on this machine an I login with Admin privs by default.

I haven't had any similar problems for the last, well, 20 years.


edit:
I notice that someone else is having a similar problem here: Folder name change does not take - Windows 10 Forums

Not sure whether it is an identical cause or not. (edit : it now looks like it is a different cause)

My last updates to Windows 10 were: Features: v1709 (6 weeks ago) and Qualty: KB4058043 on 17 December

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!
