Windows 10: Can't Save to Desktop

Windows 10 Professional:

I am suddenly experiencing a problem I have never seen before.

With two important programmes - Texpad and Junior Icon Editor - I am unable to save my work to the Desktop or into a folder on the Desktop. When hitting the 'Save as' button I get the message:

C:\Users\'name'\Desktop\Document.txt.
File not found. Check file name and try again.

I can save to any folder on C:\ or a USB drive, but not the Desktop.

I would love to hear from anyone who knows what is going on and, if possible, how to fix it.

TIA for any input.

Remote Desktop - Save connections

Hi Adrian,

Through Remote Desktop Protocol in Windows, you are provided with a graphical interface where you can save the current connection settings to an RDP file or open a saved connection. You may get to this interface by following the steps below:

• Type remote desktop in the Windows 10 taskbar search, and selecting
  Remote Desktop Connection. Make sure that the Computer,
  User name, etc. fields are filled in correctly under the
  General tab.
• Click the Show options button.
• From there, you can save the current connection settings to an RDP
  file or open a saved connection.
• If you are to save a connection, click Save As, and choose the location from where you want to save the shortcut, and click on
  Save.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask us.
