    Items copied from one desktop to another after latest update


    I have two computers using the same router. After the latest Win update, all the items that were on each desktop are now on both desktops. If an item is deleted on one desktop it is deleted on the other as well. How do I stop this?

    :)

    Desktop items open Libreoffice; windows bugged and flickering

    My mother's PC had the most bizarre bug I've ever seen this morning.

    PC specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit
    Version: 1903 when problem occurred (1909 now)

    What happened:
    • all desktop items, including folders, opened in Libreoffice Writer; once open it displayed a blank document then began flickering as if it had bugged while scrolling
    • opened Task Manager from the task bar, selecting the second tab opened the final tab, which began flickering like Libreoffice
    • problems stopped after a restart, then occurred again after another restart; then stopped after the PC ran for a short time
    • no error popups or BSODs
    • she said Candycrush reported an error earlier but it didn't occur when I looked at it; she said it mentioned "something about the desktop"

    Steps I've taken:
    • did a quick virus scan then reboot scan with Windows Defender; no problems found
    • sfc /scannow; no problems found
    • installed update KB4537572 and upgraded system to 1909; updates appear to have been successful, no other updates available

    At the moment the problem has disappeared, but since it reoccurred previously I'm not sure it hasn't been fixed.

    I'm out of ideas. What else can I check and what other tests can I run? Based on the given information could anyone suggest what the problem might be?

    Copy desktop items between users

    Hi,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would like to inform you that, in most of the cases it will be possible to copy desktop items from a different user profile.

    It may not be possible to copy desktop items from a different user profile if the user profile is corrupted\password protected.

    Follow the path:

    C:\Users\User name\ Desktop

    Note: Under Public folder click on
    View tab and check Hidden items if you don’t find
    Public Desktop folder.

    Hope it helps.

    Kindly let us know if you need further assistance on Windows, we are glad to assist you.
