What difference does .AsNoTracking() make?

by

The difference is that in the first case the retrieved user is not tracked by the context so when you are going to save the user back to database you must attach it and set correctly state of the user so that EF knows that it should update existing user instead of inserting a new one. In the second case you don’t need to do that if you load and save the user with the same context instance because the tracking mechanism handles that for you.
