Windows 10: My %userprofile% is missing from Users Folder

I can access my user profile in the address link, but could not find it in my Users.

It is supposed to be in C:\Users

How can I retrieve back to visible in the Users folder.


I have tried checking the hidden items, but still not able to find it.

The only solution to FIX GameDVR Missing/Deleted 'Captures' Folder, or change the location of the folder to another HDD!

Follow these steps to fix a missing/deleted 'Captures' DVR folder, or to also change the location of the folder if you need to
because of low HDD space.

1. Go to "Search" or "Cortana" and type "regedit"

2. Run "regedit" as administrator and go to "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders"

3. Right click on the {EDC0FE71-98D8-4F4A-B920-C8DC133CB165} key and then click the "modify" option to edit it.

3.1. If the key doesn't exist right click inside the registry window and click "new" -> "expandable string value" -> and name it
as follows {EDC0FE71-98D8-4F4A-B920-C8DC133CB165} then do STEP 3.

4. Change the path to %USERPROFILE%\Videos\Captures (%USERPROFILE% stands for your windows username) if you want to restore the default location in the "Videos" folder.

4.1. If the folder doesn't exist, or you've deleted it, go to C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\Videos (for the default location) (%USERPROFILE% stands for your windows username) and create it using the "Create New Folder Option".
Then name the new folder "Captures" and then do STEP 4.

5. If you only want to change the location of the folder, using the default method to change the location has a higher chance
of bugging it than fixing it so simply repeat STEP 4.1. with the following changes:

5.1. Create a new folder in your bigger on size HDD (for example "E:")
5.2. Follow STEP 3
5.3. Follow STEP 4 by changing the location. (for example "E:\Captures" (to mark the new folder you've just created in the new HDD)
instead "C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Videos\Captures")

6. Save and close the registry.
7. Restart your PC.

 

Vista Ultimate - 'User' Folder Location

No tried that.

Can copy the entire folder to D; but Windows still points to C as the location. Can change personal folders location to a folder on D;, but this still leaves hidden files etc on C;. Thus meaning there are 2 Users folders. Have managed to change the Public folder location to D;, with some registry tweaks, but this doesnt seem to work for the entire folder.

any more suggestions
