I created a setup-account under Windows 10 and it worked very well with Defprof for every new user.
Then I had to include some updates and additional software while I was logged in in my setup-account.
These changes are not provided to new users and the Desktop and other Profile Settings are messed up.
It is not possible to run Defprof again. Although I use a local admin-account to run "defprof setup-account" I get an error:
"The Profile is in use. The user must sign off before running Defprof".
The error message occurs even when I log off my setup-account, reboot an log in the loacal admin account.
What can I do?

runas /noprofile /user:administrator "C:\defprof administrator"
The above command should be run in CMD. Replace administrator with the name of your local admin account. In your case it sounds like that is setup-account. Also the C:\ part is simply the path to Defprof.exe, so you may need to change the path depending on where you saved the file.

We have had the same issue here, and have not been able to find a work around. Please advise if there is something else that could be tried, or if we need to find a alternate way to copy a profile to the default?
