Your Roaming User Profile was not Completely Synchronized in Windows 10 GOE1FtQ

Roaming user profile is mainly a feature that allows you to navigate the documents of another computer connected to the same network. After upgrading to Windows 10 1803, you may receive the following error message:

Your roaming profile was not completely synchronized. See the event log for details or contact administrator"


This issue happens on account of a change that was made in Windows 10 Version 1803. This change inadvertently caused folders that are ususally excluded from roaming to be synchronized by roaming user profiles when you log on or log off.

Full path to the registry key:
