Why all my newly created files and folders Encrypted in Desktop?

Every time I create a new folder or file and save it to my Desktop, a gold padlock icon appears on it. I tried the following steps but no use:

1. Go to C:\Users\User_Name and select Desktop folder, right click on it, select properties, then go to Advanced, unchecked the option "Encrypt the option to secure data". Then it shows one error as

"An error occurred trying to apply attributes to the file:

C:\Users\User_name\Desktop

The specific file could not be decrypted" .

2. Open an administrator command line and run "cipher /u /n" to list all the EFS files.

Then run "cipher /d "path to the file"" to decrypt all the EFS files.

Any other suggestions ?

Regards

 

Win 10 suddenly moving/duplicating files to C:/Users

Why on earth would Win 10 suddenly move My Documents, My Pictures, My Downloads, My Music, etc,...to C:/Users and duplicate new, empty folders in Quick Access? All folders dated this morning. Was there an update installed? This is crazy!
