Windows 10: Can't access anything from my desktop anymore

I tried to change settings in my one drive, and now it's completely removed everything from my desktop that was there. When I access the "One Drive Shortcut," it won't let me re-paste things into their location stating that One Drive needs additional storage. I DON'T WANT THESE ITEMS IN ONE DRIVE. I have lost YEARS of artistic work at this point because it has relocated everything I saved on my C drive into One Drive, and won't let me past it back. This is insane. I shouldn't need space in One Drive to copy things to my Desktop. It shouldn't have even removed it all in the first place. I have

Laptops cannot access desktops via WIFI

I have 3 desktops (all on Windows 10 1803) connected on my LAN. After following this forum for some times and did all the steps as suggested by forum member, access denied, all my desktops are able to view and access one another. I have a printer connected to PC1, and managed to connect all the other 2 PCs to have the shared printer.

I also have 2 more laptops (both Asus with the same Windows 10 1803) connected via WIFI. Performed all the same steps as per the desktops, but I was not able to access PC1. I was able to view all the 3 desktops from the file explorer, but I just can't access all the desktops. However, I was able to access the Asus laptops from desktop PC1.

Anyone able to assist on this matter? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

 

Quick Access bar

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty.

Remove items from Quick access.

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

• Right click on the file or folder.
• Select the option “unpin from the quick access”

To pin items to an item already on the quick access bar.

Follow the below steps.

I would suggest you to create folder in the desktop screen & place all the files or folder which need to pin to the quick access.

• Open the quick access.
• Select the Desktop option.
• Right click on the folder & select the option “pin to quick access”

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If the issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

Cascade Windows doesnt allow me anymore to direct access my Desktop !!!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for replying.

Michael, if you want to minimize the current open windows from your desktop, then you need to do it manually, There is no option that you can click anywhere on the desktop and all the windows from your desktop will be minimized. You can use the shortcuts
that I have mentioned in my previous post to minimize a single window and all the windows.

Else, you can click on Show the Desktop option by right-clicking on the taskbar to minimize all the current open windows and you can access your desktop..

Alternatively, you can create a Show Desktop shortcut and place it on your taskbar, so that you can just click on that shortcut and all your windows will be minimized. Follow the below steps to do the same.

Step 1: Right-click on an empty space on the desktop >
New > Shortcut.

Step 2: Then, type the following command and click on
Next.

• %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{3080F90D-D7AD-11D9-BD98-0000947B0257}

Step 3: Then, type any name for that shortcut and click on
Finish.

Step 4: Once you have successfully created the shortcut,
drag and drop that shortcut to your taskbar.

Step 5: Then, open some multiple windows and just click on that shortcut from the taskbar and all your windows will be minimized.

As clicking on the desktop and minimizing all the windows feature is not available in Windows 10, I suggest you to post
your feedback in
Feedback Hub.
