    Explorer.exe - No Desktop on Startup


    I have at least 3 instances of Explorer.exe in my Windows folder. App Startup seems to point to the one in Windows\SysWow64. That one will not start the desktop. Another instance in Windows\explorer.exe will start the desktop, but I don't seem to be able to get App Startup to point to that instance. Suggestions? Kind regards.

    :)

    EXE in Startup folder not running


    I have the same problem with MS works calendar reminder, the .exe is listed in the startup folder but at the time specified for the reminder it doesn't show the reminder pop-up.
    Tbh this was also a problem under Win 7 & 8/8.1 but rectified it by copying the alarm/calendar reminder .exe to the startup folder, this doesn't work with 10.

    Explorer.exe - No Desktop on Startup

    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?
