I went back and found reference to it being paused... Kado posted back in post #125

See the highlighted blue text.
So, it's no use trying to install any update at this point for now. And @Ciantic, you are better off pausing updates for a while or put yourself on metered connection until all this mess is sorted out.
There are so many contradictory informations going on out there:
- According to an excerpt from a zdnet.com's article:
In a tweet, Dona Sarkar, who runs the Windows Insider Program, advised anyone affected by this issue to call Microsoft's support lines: "They have the tools to get you back to a good state." The implication in that tweet (and in the language from the original bulletin) is that the files have not been deleted but are available elsewhere on the system disk.
-In another article from ghacks.net with regard to the deleted files after the update to 1809:
An administrator who manages a PC affected by the issue suspects that
the issue is caused by the Group Policy "Delete user profiles older
than a specified number of days on system restart" in Computer
Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > User
Profiles as it was set on the device and not on others where the issue
was not experienced.
Whether the policy is indeed responsible has not been confirmed yet.
By and large, at this point it's a good policy to wait and see.
Anyone knows what does the Guest option mean when i click on my username for logging off in the start menu?
I dont remember having that before and suddenly i have a Guest clickable option.
I'm using a local account.
It means the built in Guest account is set as Active. When you click on your user icon on Start you see all active accounts listed there. Normally on a machine with multiple accounts you can click on another name in that list to switch to signing in as that user without signing out of your account.
You can see a list of all accounts, active or not, in a Command Prompt (Admin) with the command NET USERS and see the details of each account with NET USER USERNAME which in the case of Guest shows it to be Active.
No, I don't remember seeing it before either, but I've just checked on a system still running 1803 and it's there too.I dont remember having that before and suddenly i have a Guest clickable option.
However, despite being active in 1803 or 1809 seems you can't sign in as Guest.
Thanks Bree. So what do you make of it? Another feature microsoft have not tested?
How is it there all of the sudden? Maybe latest CU enabled it?
Will it be safe to make it inactive? Couldn't find a UI way to do so, only cmd prompt way which I haven't tried.
Did you guys deliberately set guest to active or enable it in some way?
I see.. mine is set to active = "no" and I don't have that guest choice in 1803.
KB4464330 is still found by WU as of 8:30AM GMT when running a manual check.
