General Computer Support / KB4532693 W10 Update

« on: February 13, 2020, 06:46:01 pm »

Hello All. I have spent hours Googling and selecting what would hopefully be the answer to resolve the corruption of my User Profile. It appears to be the result of installing a recent W10 cumulative KB4532693 file. The only thing to resolve the problem, or so I thought, was to go into safe mode and restore back to a point just before the install of the KB file. At the time I did not know it was that file so after I had resolved it I was doing some minor bits when after about an hour a panel appeared with the Restart prompt so I clicked on it and the update successfully installed but upon the final auto restart I was greeted once again with the accursed message that my User Profile had again gone down the chute.
As it is now 2.45am I am retiring but will again later on select the restore point I made earlier and try to block the download and install of that KB file. Prior to going back to the earlier restore point I tried the route of swapping over the two files and altering the numbers in the STATE and RefCount units to Zero but that did nothing at all.

Hello Shane, following your last reply I ran both registry and file permissions in safe mode with network access with computer shutdown at the end of the session. Upon booting up the icons I had pulled out of the hide box onto the taskbar before the session stayed on the taskbar. I did two more shutdowns and booting up resulted in all ok. So much for MS suggesting a User Profile situation. Shane, You are a Godsend. Many thanks.

Hello Shane, there was no difference after reboot.  I only selected the registry permission and there was no change after that either. Are there any other selections I should have selected? Thanks

Shane, I ran Nirsoft reg scanner with the search word WinXP and saw about 21 lines including the search word. They date from 2012 and I wonder if these are the result of my installing at that time a program called Nexus Ultimate which gives one docks and shelves which is similar to a Mac computer.  What I cannot fathom is why with everything working ok until the 17th of this month, which coincided with installing MS security updates and the latest .netframework on that day. Could the many links you talk about be because of Nexus Ultimate. I ticked the LINKS toolbar which then appeared on the taskbar. A reboot still showed it being held.

Hello Shane, I'm afraid that I am out of my depth here. I do not know about toolbars on the taskbar. This computer was bought with W7 installed so cannot fathom out about WinXP being on the computer.

Hello Shane, here are the reg files. One of the files you originally asked for was HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Should it have been
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Policies
as I could not find    \Policies\Explorer.

Thank you for your help.

Shane,  disregard my last post due to my cocked up description. Here is the correct one. 
It appears my wife's account setup is now accepted.
I carried out your advice and on a reboot went to properties and each of the required icons appeared in the taskbar but upon a reboot they went back into the hide box. I did notice the apply button was greyed out so I could only select ok. I also tried the drag and drop from the hide box but once again on a reboot they went back into the hide box.

Hello Shane. This is as1953. My computer is down so have setup an account under my wife's computer. She is being shown as being logged on but the message I sent re her W7 icons problem was not accepted as I had to type in a set of characters in the captcha box again due to the first set not being correct. I have done this so here goes to see if it has been rectified.
