Just finished the update to 17746 and I get this:
Attachment 200763
I'll try a repair. If no go then a roll back.

Oracle VM, 4GB Vram, 50GB vdi.

As my next post stated, I was able to login after a reboot. What I did not realize right away was that I now had a new profile, C:\Users\TEMP.DESKTOP-4PTJQE3.000. I used whoami /user from a Elevated Command Prompt to find my profile SID (see How to Fix 'You've been signed in with a temporary profile' Error in Windows 10).

I had to go into regedit and rename (added -bad to end)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-21-1095386897-1566090263-2650186789-1001

that pointed to the temp profile then remove -sav (added by Windows 10) from

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-21-1095386897-1566090263-2650186789-1001-sav

as that entry still pointed to my correct user profile: C:\Users\Ztruk. I then signed out and signed in again. Went through a normal 1st boot after update setup/cleanup then everything was back to normal.

1st real problem I've had with a Insider update in quite awhile.

Cannot verify Microsoft account. Spent about an hour on line with MS support. Useless. I have rolled back, reinstalled build 17746 and still cannot get account verified. Yet, I can log on and check everything except without account verification, cannot check email and cannot synchronize. Anyone had this problem?

I have it with clean install too. Was able to get it to work by adding a phone during install. Did another clean install and its doing it again.

@Dude - thanks for response. I have one computer that doesn't ask for verification, but my main computer keeps asking for verification and will not allow window to stay open long enough to complete task.

I linked my phone to my pc, and now its verified and sync is enabled. Shouldn't have to link the phone I think.

I had the same asking for verification problem with build 17744 and the previous release. I ended up doing a Reset and the problem went away .

That sounds like a better fix

Thank you. It worked well for me apart from having to reinstall various apps, at least Microsoft have the decency to dump a list of removed apps on your desktop.

Finished installing 17746 and made the ISO. After the first reboot from the desktop, the setup was very fast. I hope MSFT remembers how to do this in the future. No problems detected so far.
