Windows 10: When I create a new folder on the Desktop it doesn't show up on the Desktop folder Desktop...

My Desktop Directory C:\Users\abdel\Desktop is empty even though I have files on my Desktop.I recently reset my pc but I am not sure if that's what caused the issue.

Can not create New Folder in Desktop

When you open 'Properties' for the 'Desktop' folder in your 'Username' and select 'Location' does it show as in image below:

Rename current desktop folder to 'Desktop1' > create a new 'Desktop' folder > try to create new folder from desktop.

Trying to avoid creating new user profile!!!!!!
