    Brink, I followed the tutorial instructions and it seemed the problem had been solved, but it's returned. What else can I try?

    Did your desktop get set back to autosave to "OneDrive" instead of "This PC"?

    Odd.

    If you like, post screenshots showing your "Desktop" folder in "Quick access" and "This PC" to see if anything may stand out.

    As a test, if you create a "New Folder" on your desktop, what folder does the "New Folder" show up in?

    Brink, the screenshots are attached, and they appear on my desktop and in C:\Desktop, and the same applies to the New Folder, so it seems that the problem has been solved. Do yoy agree?

    You shouldn't have a "C:\Desktop" folder by default.

    Did you attempt to move your "C:\Users\royw\Desktop" folder?

    Ah, ok good. That would explain it then.

    Just to verify if everything is ok, check the two registry keys below to make sure that the Desktop string value (REG_SZ) for both have the correct path you moved your Desktop folder to.

    Brink, the second of the registry keys you show shows the same details as yours. My registry doesn't contain the first registry key you refer to.

    In that case, it appears that your Desktop folder didn't get moved to "C:\Desktop".

    Did you want your Desktop folder at "C:\Desktop" or the default "C::\Users\royw\Desktop"?

    Brink, my Desktop folder is definitely in C:\Desktop. I moved it there and want it to stay there.
