Cumulative updates - February 11th 2020

Hello.  Sorry to post a random question here, but a bit new at this.  Just installed the latest Feb 2020 Windows 10 updates.  Upon completion it appears to have reset the display to default windows system.  That is, all custom icons missing, background returned to windows logo, would not recognise my logon, set a temp logon.

I had to uninstall the latest updates to return to previous good operation and display.  Any ideas?  FYI.  Two of my neighbors had the same issue and we had to uninstall this update.

Thank you for your time and support.

Hi

Just to let you know that I am having the same problem, once the update has been installed I can log in to my account. have had to uninstall this update.

is there any body who can solve this problem.

Well, at least there are 3 of us.  Neighbor has a new Dell tower, everything standard, and had this problem.  Some past posts suggested the same issue with updates, but that was several years ago.  There were no solutions posted.  Guess we shall wait and see if there is a solution suggestion.

Well, at least there are 3 of us.  

If it makes you feel better, there are more cases reported in various languages about the temporary account issue. 

I would suggest uninstalling the update and blocking it for 7 days. if the issue occurs. But only then.

You're right this does happen and no one seems to know why. What fixes it for some users is to restart 4 times using Start > Power > Restart and check again.

You are signed in with a temp profile and it suggests the update didn't complete successfully. The restarts sometimes fix the temp profile.

Harsh, but perhaps worth a try.  If this fixes the temp profile, any word if this restores the icons and background.  I guess it would if it starts with the correct profile and not a temp profile.

Thank you for the response and "worth a try" idea. 

I followed my windows promots to restart to install updates tiday and when it completed the pc woukd not restart ?? Whats happening ?? All i get is messages “ problem resarting”

and “repairing “ help !!

Most folks don't have a windows recover USB or CD, but if you do, that would be one way to try a repair.  No guarantee what would be save as far as applications.  You would need to boot from that USB or CD.

That is one of the last resorts.

However. one gentleman suggested restarting 4 times.  I have not tried that.  Another usual suggestion is to boot into "safe mode" if you are even able to do that.

Not sure what the suggestions to disable updates for 7 days would do unless somebody has a patch to release in 7 days.  But it would be wise to stop update until something is resolved.  I stopped updates for a couple of weeks to try different solutions each time I try the update.  I was able to uninstall the update, sounds like you do not have that option.  I did do a total backup to an external hard disk now.   I will try the updates later..... again.  I learn the hard way.

Sorry not a sure fire suggestion here.
