There is a way, using a symbolic link to the UNC:

1. Create a folder on your hard drive, e.g., C:\UNC-LNK
2. Create a second folder in the above with the name of the UNC destination itself, e.g., C:\UNC-LNK\SHARED-LOCATION
3. Add the second folder above to a new library.
4. Delete second folder above.
5. Open an administrative command prompt (right click on Command Prompt in Accessories, choose “Run as administrator”).
6. Do your equivalent of the following in the command prompt window: mklink /d c:\UNC-LNK-SHARED-LOCATION \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME
7. Done!

Remove old obsolete printer connections here:

HKEY_USERS\<the user's SID>\Printers\Connections

and here:

HKEY_USERS\<the user's SID>\Printers\Settings

and the problem goes away.

It’s called adding a UPN suffix, and it’s documented here:

It may occur that this location:

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

(on most systems, thus:)

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

starts to fill with gigs and gigs of queued reports for Windows Error Reporting. The folder’s contents can be deleted safely. If you want to turn W.E.R. off on a server:

1. Go to Administrative Tools, Server Manager.
2. Go to the Server Manager top level page, the very bottom, make sure you can see the whole Resources and Support section.
3. Click into Configure Windows Error Reporting and turn it altogether off.

Here is a detailed fix:

The gist of it is, one browses in ‘regedit’ to here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

and one will find that the GUID key for the profile, is suffixed ‘.bak’, and replaced. One needs to remove the replacement, rename the .bak removing the suffix, and restore the ‘state’ entry from ‘8100’ hex (which means temporary) to ‘100’ hex (normal).

If the profile itself is corrupt and the goal is to replace it altogether, just remove all of the keys with the username within, including the .BAK if it exists.
