Windows update jacked my user account, I let it update to the new fall creators update and It created a new user folder for me and now all my logins are pointed to the wrong user folder. Microsoft tech support couldn't even fix it. and now they have my entire PC messed up. Please look into this and see if any one else is getting this problem from update.

Ahh that sucks. Major updates can from time to time, bork an installation.

 

Why don't you quickly restore from backup from right before the update, and run it again? You do have a backup, don't you?

 

Personally I have not experienced that issue - we updated around 100+ computers to the Fall Creators update, and it actually went very smoothly for the most part.

when i installed the update it did a few things. it fucked the saturation to the point where everything was darker and hard to see. it also screwed with audio profiles (i use the stock windows ones) and made everything SUPER heavy bass. had to revert to get things back to normal
