Multiple applications have stopped working, since upgrading to Windows 10 version 2004
- Aug 19, 2020
The symptoms are there to show, there's no other way to check a user profile.
Let's suppose your current user is rod and the new user is falanga
Open a Command prompt (admin) and type:
net user falanga yourpassword /add
net localgroup administrators falanga /add
xcopy %userprofile%\desktop\*.* c:\users\falanga\desktop\
repeat for any other folder which contains useful info (pictures, documents, music, downloads and so on)
Just a bit of caution, if you have folder backup set to Onedrive (which I recommend) the commands for the following folders will change like this:
xcopy %userprofile%\onedrive\desktop\*.* c:\users\falanga\desktop\
xcopy %userprofile%\onedrive\pictures\*.* c:\users\falanga\pictures\
xcopy %userprofile%\onedrive\documents\*.* c:\users\falanga\documents\
Check this before by right clicking the Onedrive icon in application bar, Settings, Manage backup.
Then, in Settings/Account, change rod to local user.
Disconnect rod and log in with falanga.
Also in Settings/Account connect falanga to your Microsoft Account and you should be done.
Probably some apps will need some settings to be redone, but the main part is transferred.
When you're happy with the new profile, you could delete the old one.
Feel free to ask questions if something is not clear.
Run tool.
If that doesn't solve the problem
Try to set your Windows back to the previous version and then update to the 2004 version with the Windows update wizard.

If that doesn't solve the problem
then download Windows 10 Update Assistant and update Windows again to 2004.
It is not the fastest solution, to be sure you would have to have a PC or log in via TeamViewer or other software to see where the problem could be. But only your technicker of trust can do that, not me.
So you can try to get everything back to normal without having to reinstall everything.
I would be happy to know if I could help.
