Windows 10: Files Automatically Saving to Home Screen

Hey, recently, each time I download a file, it automatically appears on my home screen, and can't really find a reason as to why this happens. Does anyone why?

Saves log files ?

You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

Download CCcleaner from here...........

You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.

File Saving

We'd like to know the current build and version of your Windows 10. To check, press the Windows key, type
winver, and press the Enter key. If possible, we'd also like to see a screenshot of your file explorer while attempting to save a file.

Meanwhile, as our initial troubleshooting, we suggest that you enable Windows Search service to run a repair on the File History tool to see if there will be any changes. Kindly follow the steps below:

• Press Win + R to open Run > Type Service.msc.
• Double-click on Windows Search > If it's disabled, set it to
  Automatic.
• Click on Apply > Then choose OK.
