Windows 10: Windows update to 20H2 breaks my PC home, forced to revert to 1909 which works without issues

Hello,I've been having issues with Windows Updates on my PC since update 2004. The first issue I noticed was after the update installed, it kept locking up completely around once a day.This PC runs Windows 10 Home on:Asrock P67 Extreme 4Intel i5-2500K32GB RipjawsEVGA Geforce 970Samsung Evo 850 windows bootWD Blue 500GB HDD secondaryUSB peripherals.So every week, I would disable update notifications and would go through any important-looking updates manually, avoiding the BIG ONE as every attempt so far left me with a PC that locks up consistently. I reverted back to 1909 by h

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

Have you followed their advice? Install one update at a time and reboot after each one. It's a long process, but if that's the solution, and you want a working laptop, I see no other option.

As for a windows 8.1 iso, it's easy. I literally did this 2 weeks ago to my PC.
Create installation media for Windows

EDIT: Also, if you go direct to HP, they actually tell you to go into the BIOS, disabled "Secure boot" run the updates and reboot, and then turn "Secure boot" back on. Have you done as HP suggested?

 

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!

 

Update 1909 breaks my bluetooth

Dear Microsoft posters,

I use noise cancelling headphones for my hyperacusis, I cannot live without them since I got it, the slightest noises give me ear jaw and neck cramps and can make my tinnitus worse.

So, after spending a lot of time troubleshooting, I got bluetooth on my PC working with a Bluetooth 4.0 dongle and it can connect to my headphones. This is on Windows 10 version 1809.

However, yesterday Windows forced an update to 1909, and the dongle or any other Bluetooth functionality just completely didn't work anymore, even after spending several hours troubleshooting. Reverting back to 1809 fixed the issue instantly, but Windows keeps
telling me that it will update to 1909 when I shut down my computer.

If I check online, a lot of people have the same issue. This is very important to me, so if this update breaks my Bluetooth, I don't want it. How do I block it, or somehow make sure update 1909 won't render my expensive headphones useless?
