Windows 10: User/profile is downloads folder

So i don't know what i did but my "User" profile shows the download symbol.
Sorry it's not in English
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
(this means users/profiles)
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
(this is supposed to be my user/profile but somehow it has downloads icon)
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
This is what i get when i open the user folder
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
This is what I expect.
And the path is still C:\Users\User.
And yes my downloads go in C:\Users\User\Downloads
Is this a problem? How do I fix It? Do I need to fix It?
I restored the downloads folder (that's why it is in English) but nothing changed. Thanks for taking your time to reply!

User Profile Service failed

To resolve your concern, we suggest that you follow these steps:

• Copy the Default folder (in C:\Users) from another windows 10 computer.
• Rename the Default folder to something like DefaultOLD (just to keep it for safety reasons).
  
• Paste it in your Users folder.
• To make sure that you won't have problems with permissions of the "implant" folder, just transfer it via a FAT/FAT32 formatted USB stick (those filesystems don't have permissions).

This will provide solution to the error User Profile Service failed.

Let us know if you need more assistance.

 

Hide or Show User Profile's Personal Folders in Navigation Pane


Hello Brink and thank you. This website is a very helpful resource.

Your suggested answer will hide the User Profile folder in the Navigation Pane.

Instead, this scenario involves not hiding the User Profile folder but hiding specific Personal Folders in the Navigation Pane that are marked "Hidden" in the Files/Folders Listing Area.

My suspicion is that there are more "PinToNamespace" registry entries for me to toggle the DWORD value.

 

Move Users Folder Location in Windows 10  

If not the best way to do that but at least the way I recommend:

• "Empty" your user profile folders as much as you can, copying documents, pics, videos, music and all other personal data from all user profiles to external HDD. As following steps require you to relocate Users folder two times, the less data is left in user profile folders, the faster the relocation process. Important: Leave system folder AppData for each profile intact, do not empty / move its content!
• Reverse the relocating, doing exactly as told in tutorial Method Two but this time relocating Users folder back to C: drive
• Shut down the PC, replace the disk where you had Users relocated
• Mount the new disk, boot to Windows, assign new disk the same drive ID letter than the old one had
• Again, do as told in Method Two, now relocating Users to new disk
• Restore the backed up personal user data from external drive to respective folders under each user profile
