    Double User Libraries


    After upgrading to 1903 from 1809, common Libraries (Documents, Pictures etc.) appear double in Windows Explorer left pane.

    I.e. a Document library with a Document folder in it. Real content is enumerated and accessed from both.

    Documents folder is also repeated under Pictures library!!!


    This is on a machine with one drive only; Libraries and standard folders have never been moved/relocated.


    Note: 1903 update was not through Insiders, but readily offered by Windows Update.

  2. My User Folders are mismatched in Library

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that the library folders are mismatched in Windows. We will help you.

    Lets try the below steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you do a system maintenance troubleshooter
    and check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + X keys and Go to control panel.
    • Select system and maintenance.
    • There select troubleshooting.
    • In troubleshooting, go to system and security and select
      run maintenance task.
    • Select system maintenance and follow the
      on screen instructions.
    Step 2: I also suggest you to
    try creating a new user account and check if issue persists.

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

    Double User Libraries

    Picture User Folder vs Library Picture Folder / Add to User folder

    Hi,



    Form the issue description, I realize that you are trying to view your pictures in the default pictures library. To do so, you have to change the location of the folder that contains your pictures to the default pictures library folder.



    To view your pictures in the default pictures library, I suggest you to follow the steps below.




    • Right-click on the default Picture folder
      and click on Properties.

    • Navigate to Location tab.

    • Click on Move…. and select the folder that contains your pictures and click on
      Apply and then click on Ok.


    Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further information on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



    Thank you.
