Windows 10: saving pdf in documents

I have windows 10. Several updates back, I lost the ability to save pdf documents in the document folder on my desktop. No following updates have corrected this problem. I tried signing on as the administrator, still it didn't work, I recently bought a laptop, windows 10, had no problem saving a pdf document in the document folder. Although I can the save the documents in another folder, it's just annoying that the problem has not been recognized and corrected. I'm thinking an update is necessary to correct it, since it appeared immediately after one of the updates.
