Windows 10: homescreen on desktop of Windows 10

My wallpaper and icons have suddently enlarged. I right clicked on open space and then clicked refresh but no change.

changing Homescreen options

I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about Desktop and OneDrive Protected Folders. If so, Desktop folder icon in File Explorer > This PC will show OneDrive's cloud-like icon:





Do the following to change it:

Right click OneDrive icon in notification area:





A small pop-up window opens. Select Settings:





Settings will open. Under Auto-save tab, select Update folders:





Click Stop protecting:





Confirm:





That's it. Your desktop is now empty, OneDrive desktop no longer shown and you can put anything you want to on desktop.

 

changing Homescreen options

I'm wondering if anyone knows how I could change my homescreen to display a directory other than my desktop, for example my downloads, or pictures etc.

The reason why I'm asking is because everything is being stored on the desktop under my OneDrive and I want to change it so that my homescreen displays my regular desktop, not the one under Onedrive.

Thanks in advance!

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
