Hey Andre. I did that in the past. And with last Fall Update, Windows desiabled this profile and just created a new profile. I don't know why. Now I have to create all this 20 Junctions-Links again. It's so much work now. I wish me the good old Windows 7 back! ;-) Greetings

Hello, my SSD is only 128 GB. Not enough to work with a lot of files. Like on Windows 7 before, I tried to "move" my main user profile from my small SSD to my larger HDD. so I did this way: - Log in and log out briefly. - Under another profile doing this...... - copy this special profile to the HDD - here I use FastCopy with ACL option, which cioy all file permissions. - create with junction or mklink from C:\Users\Base (SSD) to D:\Users\Base (HDD) - and now login again with the base profile This has never been a problem with Windows 7 (and also with previous versions). But since Windows 10 (probably also 8) the start menu of the taskbar stuck. In Process Explorer or Task Manager you can see that a backgroundTaskHost.exe is permanently restarting. And the CPU load increases dramatically. After a while the system also reports that such work is not possible and I have to log off again. Other applications I started with some tricks here and they worked fine. I'm sure I am not the only person on this planet who use a SSD and a HDD in one computer. And I'm also sure, there are a lot of users who prefer to safe profile-Data to a bigger and more writable HDD. (surfing with firefox, make a lot of filewrite and so on, and some Video und Pictures Folders increase a lot of the years (to much for most small SSDs)) a little bit more details how I did it: FastCopy (Source: https://ipmsg.org/tools/fastcopy.html.en) benutzt um das Profile komplett zu Clonen (ACL aktiv um auch die Berechtigung 1:1 zu übernehmen) after creating profile and switch back to a admin/setup-profile to copy with FastCopy the new Profile cmd...
