Windows 10 Version 1709 (KB4041994) User settings Issue
After downloading this latest version of Windows 10 from the Insider Program I ran into an issue where the update had created a brand new User account and my original User account was nowhere to be f...
tried this found several old account SID#'s but in profile list.. only the new one exist
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
I think all you really need to do is use regedit to change this setting (above) in your PC's registry. Just find the appropriate setting at ProfileList with the new, changed user name (mine was username.TOSHIBA) and simply change it back to username (that is, your original user name). Save your registry change, log out of Windows 10 and then back in again. You should be automatically logged back into your original user name account. Remember that this update doesn't delete your data; it only changes your user name. So nothing is lost . . . except for your time . . .
