Windows 10: From public desktop to user desktop

Basically I turned on onedrive auto sync just now and all my files on desktop are in the directory of onedrive.

After I stopped the auto sync, it went back to public desktop (as the directory of an application showed) and there were many icons missing.

Could someone tell me how to restore my desktop or at least go back to the user desktop instead of staying in the public desktop?

Any help will be appreciated!!!

Public Desktop showing instead of user desktop when logged in (Windows 10)

Upon login to Windows 10 using my username (the only one on the machine), it has now started bringing up the 'public' desktop instead of my 'user' desktop. I have no idea how to get my desktop folder to show back up as the desktop. I figured out that
it was now displaying the contents of the public user folder because my anti-virus updated and put an icon/shortcut on the desktop. It was the only icon on this desktop. When I looked to see where the shortcut was located, it showed "C:\Users\Public\Desktop". Prior
to this I thought maybe it was in tablet mode like the forums suggest. Not the case here. Any thoughts on how I can get MY desktop back instead of the public one?

 

Why does the desktop show both User and Public items?

I was cleaning up my Desktop in Windows explorer when i noticed that there were more items on my Desktop than that listed in windows explorer.

I eventually found out that the content on my Desktop was a mixture of files from User Desktop AND Public Desktop.

This was both unexpected and extremely frustrating

I expected ONLY those files in the User Desktop to be found on the Desktop.

I would like to know why the other files i found on the desktop were placed in the Public Desktop in Windows Explorer.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Passage from public desktop to user desktop problem

Hello,

I recently created another user account on my pc. I need to remove some links in the public desktop because they are not necessary for the other user.

The problem is that when I try to delete from the public desktop and to insert in my own desktop these one, icons don't visualized correctly (white image).

I've already tried to delete the icon cache and restart the pc, but it didn't work.

I have this problem with the apps that put shortcuts in the public desktop at the installing time (in the picture below VLC and VirtualBox).

I hope someone knows how to solve.

Meanwhile, thank you.
