Windows 10: Outlook stopped working after 1909 update

My Outlook stopped working after a 1909 update today, 7.15.2020. It does start in safe mode. I tried Outlook Repair and Office repair - both local and on-line and restarted the computer multiple times. I want my Outlook back, Mr. Microsoft! I am paying for it and expect updates to NOT blow it away. And please, do not patronize me by asking me to run repair options again, or waste my time by reinstalling Windows!

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!

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

HDMI output has stopped working after update to 1909

Hi dalchina. Sorry, it's an HP ENVY Notebook - 17-n007tx. The product ID is M9V64PA#ABG.

Oh dear. A support tech took hours to find the correct one?! That sounds like a nightmare of installing and uninstalling. I didn't update the drivers until after the HDMI failed, so a rollback sounds an unlikely solution unless the OP on the thread you've quoted is right and Microsoft Windows updates install drivers for other proprietary software without asking?!

That's a further mystery. Back in January when I last posted a question here, Windows was reporting itself as being version 1909. However yesterday, an update to 1909 popped up as an "optional update". I generally like to keep everything up to date so I figured that this was merely an incremental upgrade to the version I was already running. However there's some definite differences in appearance (for instance, the way results display in the Cortana search bar) that suggests it's more than that!

I did try that and it suggested many of the things I tried listed above. I also ran the HP component tests. I'll try digging deeper in the site since I didn't see the thread you've quoted above.
