Not sure why `DESKTOP-8T2EMTA\` is getting added in the first place then. I did do some testing and noticed that once it started to get added during upgrades, I had to restart my entire system to get it to stop.

Ultimately, for now the best thing to do is to manually set the username so it doesn't include the `\u` or escape it with an extra `\`. Or change the user name to not start with `u`. Then once the fix is in place in a future update, you won't have to worry about it.
