One profile, multiple simultaneous logins, broken search

I have this issue cropping up at multiple unique locations.

At each location I have a single Server 2016 Standard (STD) acting as the AD DS with DHCP and DNS, the client workstations are Windows 10 Pro (64). Each workstation is installed from a common AOMEI Backupper image, has windows updates run on it, and is given a unique workstation name. Each business wants every user to log into each station with the same user name. When we join the workstations to the domain, the Administrator user works fine, but when the user logs in as the common, non-administrator, user the Settings UI no longer works, Search fails, many MMC functions fail, and we cannot access the internet with any browser (Edge, IE or Chrome). The occurs on a freshly built domain and ones where we move the roles from a previous domain. In the cases of a previous domain the client was using the common user log in just fine. Those previous domains were built on Svr08R2 STD, Srvr12 STD or 12R2 STD with Windows 7 or 8.1 workstations.

If we try to create new, unique users in AD and then log in at a station that has been corrupted with the new login, the corruption carries over to the new user as if the local default user profile is corrupted. We arenot running a Windows 7-type "copy profile" on Windows 10. We know what damage that causes. That being said, this look very similar to that.

I admit I have made many modifications to the workstation local and Domain group policy, too many to list here, but we only have this issue with users that want to use one log in name for everyone. Our other clients, with the same build parameters, using unique logins for each station do not have this issue. Also, this has only cropped up since we moved to Server 2016 and Windows 10 pro.

My question is, how do we create a situation with Server 2016 standard w/ AD DS and Windows 10 Pro (64) workstations where each user logs into each workstation with the same user name? Is it possible w/o blowing up the local default profile? What articles would help me develop such a scenario? I have tried researching this, but none of the article I have found seem to deal with this specific design. It is not a design I would choose for any client, but this is what multiple clients want since it is what they used in the past.
