    Missing Folder on Windows 10 Desktop


    One of my folders has disappeared from my desktop overnight. It's a folder I need to access multiple times each day. It still shows up under Quick Access/Desktop, but it is nowhere on the desktop itself. I know that I can create a shortcut, but I'd like to restore it instead.

    :)

    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
