Windows 10: popup on my desktop homescreen

I left mt apple computer sitting at the home screen when a popup window appeared that said "suspicious content found". I cant remember 100% what it looked like bc it was a while ago, but it had that typical Microsoft look like from the website. I was wondering what this even means and if its even possible to get these types of warnings on an apple computer.

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!

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.
