    All References to Desktop are missing from new profile in Windows 10


    I just setup a new user and all references to Desktop are missing. The Desktop appears as expected with shortcuts and files etc but in File Explorer Desktop doesn't appear. The properties for files saved on the Desktop show that they are saved in C:\Users\Username\Desktop but Desktop is missing from c:\Users\Username. It is also missing from Quick Access and This PC lists.


    I have "Show hidden files ... " enabled.


    Desktop does appear for the Administrator account.


    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
