Windows Central Question

How can I change User name and C:/Users/xyz name in Windows 10? I used command netplwiz and changed the User name Then I Tweaked a Registry path in HKEY_LOCAL_CLASSES/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/Profile_image/Profile image path. I changed it from 'C:/Users/bhati' (Original one) to 'C:/Users/Aashish'(new one)
Now Windows Store doesn't install apps. It gives an error(0x8E5E0408).
The store is still following the old path. How do I change that?
Everything is working fine except the store.
I read on net Create Symbolic Link from/of old folder to new folder. But I can't get that. Please Help!
Regards,
Aashish Bhatia
