Hi,

To resolve the issue, I would suggest that you refer to the steps provided below and check if the same error occurs.

Method:

Step 1: Navigate to "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile”
and check if the Desktop folder exist.

Step 2: In the event that you cannot find the folder, create a folder name it as
“Desktop” or copy it from “c:/user/default/Desk

Note: Once you open the User folder the Default folder will be hidden. To unhide click on the “View” tab and check the “Hidden Items” box.


Also after you have created the folder, it will be required that you give full permission to the folder. Follow the steps below to give permission.

• Right click on the folder, click on the “Security” tab and then click on the
  “Edit” button.
• This will navigate you to “Permission for Desktop”.
