    Why my user name becomes Desktop?


    1 I have done a reset and reinstalling Windows 10.

    2 I don't why my name I'm the admin seems to be changed to Desktop under Users.

    3 The other user names are not changed, only my name now becomes Desktop! All my folders are under Users\Desktop\



    Please help!


    Thank you.

    :)
