Windows 10: Help! The symbols in the diagrams of my documents were altered after refreshing the laptop....

I recently refreshed my laptop, and during the process certain apps were removed that I know I can restore. My dilemma is once the laptop was refreshed the diagrams in my documents were altered. By that I mean the symbols were changed such as musical icons and arrows as well as the positioning of the diagrams. I believe that the documents can be restored to their original appearance. I was wondering if the Microsoft Visual C++Redistributable has anything to do with it, as I'm planning to reinstall them. The musical flat symbol became =, while arrows became something else. Does anyone know how to solve this problem.

Altering the Documents Directory Changes the Folder Name

I set up my Documents folder location to use the D drive on my computer and now it is stuck with the folder name D:/ - however when I go into properties it says that it is Documents. How can I get it to change the folder name back to Documents?

Edit:
Steps I took were...

1. RMB Documents (in sidebar under Quick Access)
   
2. Location - Move/Change to D:/
   
3. Save
   

Now by default any documents saved to the Documents folder will be saved to the drive D:/ (Documents) rather than in the C:/Users/

Here's a screenshot (on Windows 10).
