    Win 10 and 1 drive RUINED ME - duplicate users multiple desktops, programs sucked up etc 12...


    PLEASE can someone help. I am desperate. I have literally spent 120 hours trying to fix, 12 conversations with MS help and BS answers/ dodging a critical One Drive bug that is ruining my life and any productivity. I am a freelancer and have a family to feed.I am sorry this is so long, but it's important to relay the absolute SH**T SHOW.I did not know that the October? win 10 update automatically set one drive to take over my ENTIRE OS. I purchased the 2019 office. I have had the personal free one drive account for many years. I have 15 gig instead of the five because of a Samsung credit

    :)

    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 ?.

    issue with deleting duplicate Desktop folder

    Howdy folks!

    I am new to tenforums, having my normal residence at sevenforums. But I'm attempting to help my wife with her fairly new (June) Asus Tuf laptop with Win10 Pro Version 1909 Build 18363.1256, AMD Ryzen7, 16GB RAM

    She somehow ended up with 2 Desktop folders showing under ThisPC and no Pictures folder. I ran the program listed in the tutorial in this forum
    ( Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10)

    to merge the 2 Desktop folders. Now it shows only 1 in ThisPC and still 2 in Users\ebeet (my wife initial and part of last name).

    The icons for the 2 in her Users folder both correctly show a computer screen and in properties says Desktop. The 1 listed under ThisPC has a Pictures icon although in Properties on General Tab it says Desktop. But when you go to Location Tab it says for Target location C:\Users\ebeet\Pictures.

    So the Regedit file removed the duplicate listing in the File Tree but things aren't right. Trying to change the location in Properties didn't work.

    I've attached a snip to show both folders.

    Any suggestions on a solution would be helpful, and thanks in advance! happy New Year to ya!
