Windows 10: Link to user files on startup

After a recent Windows 10 update, I am treated as a new user when I logon. The folders under This PC\Documents, etc. are empty. I looked in the C:\Windows\User directory are still there so I have not lost data, however, they are no longer connected to 'This PC' when I logon. How do I re-establish the link between my User and my files?

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
