    A and D buttons take me to the homescreen


    I have this big problem, sometimes, usually around 1 or 2 times per week my keyboard and mouse stop working for around 10 seconds, then they start working again. On top of that, when that occurs, sometimes pressing A or D take me to the homescreen. AND on top of that, I use discord, and when I click a channel on a discord server, it opens up a discord tab on chrome even though I use the app. Usually it gets fixed when I restart my computer, but sometimes it results in a blue screen saying "Your device ran into a problem" and gives me ACPI_BIOS_ERROR stop code. I'm not sure what could cause t

    I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:

    Do the following to change it:

    Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:


    A and D buttons take me to the homescreen 196682d1532249934t-changing-homescreen-options-image.png


    A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:


    A and D buttons take me to the homescreen 196683d1532250029t-changing-homescreen-options-image.png


    Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:

    Click Stop protecting:

    Confirm:

    That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.

    A and D buttons take me to the homescreen

    changing Homescreen options

    I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could change my homescreen to display a directory other than my desktop, for example my downloads, or pictures etc.

    The reason why I'm asking is because everything is being stored on the desktop under my OneDrive and I want to change it so that my homescreen displays my regular desktop, not the one under Onedrive.

    Thanks in advance!
