Windows 10: Windows 10 made update to 20H2 from 1909, what should I expect

I have been delaying the updates for the 20H2 iteration, I am wondering how is it possible for the update to carry on,while I had WAU Manager set to disable the built-in Windows, along with the 0&0 Shutup10 disabling windows update feature. I did have the update paused, maybe when it had reached the date, It finally downloaded on its own. From this update what are some of the thing I may expect, I want to keep my eyes open for any changes or something breaking within the system. I am really looking for stability. Since, I am using windows 10 home, I can't really go into the policy/rules to turn off the windows update feature, Are there any other ways to do this?

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!
