    .tmp files keep appearing on my computer's desktop and other errors


    I bought a new pc and began putting things like my documents, pictures, and music from my old computer on my new computer. It wasn't long before I received a message that onedrive was full and I could not put any new files on. I'm stumped that's never happened to me before. I thought the files were being stored locally on my computer's hard drive. I went into settings then disabled the microsoft account and told it to use a local account. After that I deleted the one drive app because I wanted to make sure that didn't happen again. Now I'm getting various error messages. I can't move, change or delete any files on my desktop. I tried to save an important document to my desktop but got an error message that I don't have permission to do that.and it asked me if I want to save it to my one drive documents folder. I don't want to do that. I want them stored locally on my computer. Someone told me to go to file explorer click on desktop and create an account named everyone and give it administrator privileges after I did it that problem was better now I am getting another problem. I keep getting .tmp files appearing on my desktop. It seems to happen when I download something or install a program on my pc. I've tried deleting them but I get a message that I can't delete them. I read something were you can go into file explorer check hide system files. When I did that the .tmp files were gone from my desktop I thought my problem was over. However I downloaded software for a new mouse and there were .tmp files on my desktop again. I had to go back in check the box to show hidden files and then check the box to hide them. After that those files were gone. How can I keep that from happening? Why aren't they going in the temp folder? I'm beginning to think I need to get a computer tech to reinstall windows 10 on my computer but I just purchased MS office and don't want to lose that and need to redo anything. Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    Windows 10; After Each Prt Job, .TMP File Left in Printers Folder; Can't Delete, Error in Printfilterpipelinesvc.exe

    Hello,

    For us to isolate the issue about deleting a TMP file after a printing job, kindly respond to the questions below:

    • When did the issue started to occur?
    • Does the issue persist when you print using another device?
    • Is your printer a wireless printer?
    As a first troubleshooting step, we suggest that you download and run the
    printing troubleshooter
    .

    We look forward to an update from you.

    .tmp files keep appearing on my computer's desktop and other errors

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
