  1. "can't open this item it might have been moved renamed or deleted"


    I suddenly got this and half of the apps aren't working also logged me out of all of my accounts. I already did the basic troubleshooting and restarting but it didn't really fix all of them my wallpaper got removed or just turned black and whenever I try to change it in the personalization setting it would just freeze the settings app. I hope someone helps me with this. thankyou

  2. In Windows 10 taskbar shortcuts all say "the item you selected is unavailable it might have been moved"

    All the taskbar items and shortcuts from the start menu are unable to complete their links.

    The phrase "the item you selected is unavailable it might have been moved, renamed, or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list".

    The items have not been moved, nor renamed, nor removed. The list does update with recent items, but I can never get the short cut to work. I have tried to delete these shortcuts, but the "delete" does not delete them.

    Any suggestions?

    Canot move, delete or rename favotites

    Recently I have been unable to delete favorites. When I try to delete a favorite it appears to be gone, but it returns at the bottom of the list within 1 - 2 minutes. If I rename a favorite, it does keep the new name, but it reappears at the bottom of
    the list as well, and if I move it to a sub folder, the move works, but a copy again reappears at the bottom. I have tried downloading and running Microsoft's Security Scanner and it found no problems. The second suggestion on the MS site was to reset IE.
    That did not work either. I the called MS support, and they told me I have done everything they can think of doing, but for just $99 they can fix the problem.

    Can't move, rename, or delete folders

    I've been trying to do some work with some folders (work which involves the things listed in the title) but can't because it either (when trying to move or rename folders) says they're open in another program, when I know for a fact they are not, or (when
    I try to delete a folder) says I need admin permission, but even when I get permission, it still says I need permission from something named "DESKTOP" followed by an assortment of letters and numbers. I think I should also mention that this only applies to
    the folders themselves, not the files inside them. I can move, edit, and delete those with no problems, but the folders they're stored in cannot be moved, renamed, or deleted.

    So far I've tried disabling sharing, disabling thumbnails, increasing my users permissions, and giving myself ownership of the folders, but none of those worked.
