Windows 10: Windows shortcuts from Public Desktop folder not showed in Windows Explorer Desktop

Hello dear, i allow myself to ask you here, i've this "bug" on every Windows OS 11 / Server When you put some shortcuts in the Public\Public Desktop folder, it's correctly going on the Desktop on the user But when we are using the "Desktop" shortcut from "This PC" in "Windows Explorer", we can't see the shortcut from the Public Desktop folder. Why ?

Explorer Not Showing All Desktop w/ Shortcuts Problem!

Normally on Windows 10, when I click 'Explorer' icon it shows files/folders but no shortcuts on my Desktop View!

So I'm checking to see how to change this so I see my complete Desktop view of icons, (just so I know what's there and not hidden in Explorer)! What I found is that in the list of locations, there are several labels that read 'DESKTOP'. But when you click
on 'em some show desktop links and on others, they don't show desktop shortcuts. The difference is not denoted on the lists. All labels saying DESKTOP are different in how they display folders/files/links/etc inside the Windows 10 Explorer window!

MS should make them all the same and ESPECIALLY.... for the Explorer link on the desktop! If we want to see the desktop w/ everything in it we shouldn't have to hunt and peck through numerous labels tagged Desktop in the Explorer Tree to find the one that
shows everything including links! Same Desktop labeled entry should show everything that's in that folder! ....many people make mistake of thinking it's in the Folder Settings. It's NOT for Explorer Views!

So what I want to do is at a TRUE DIRECT VIEW of what's really in the Desktop Folder in a Shortcut on the Desktop instead of the BAD Shortcut that ends up missing all the links/etc that one keeps hiding from me! How can I do that so I see FULL VIEW that
if click the 2nd 'Desktop' label in list view I get to see EVERYTHING under any Desktop label when there is no designated differential? Thanks!

 

Public Desktop showing instead of user desktop when logged in (Windows 10)

Upon login to Windows 10 using my username (the only one on the machine), it has now started bringing up the 'public' desktop instead of my 'user' desktop. I have no idea how to get my desktop folder to show back up as the desktop. I figured out that
it was now displaying the contents of the public user folder because my anti-virus updated and put an icon/shortcut on the desktop. It was the only icon on this desktop. When I looked to see where the shortcut was located, it showed "C:\Users\Public\Desktop". Prior
to this I thought maybe it was in tablet mode like the forums suggest. Not the case here. Any thoughts on how I can get MY desktop back instead of the public one?

 

Desktop shortcuts

Shortcuts can "live" in two places:

• In your own profile folder (C:\Users\Luke\Desktop). They are visible to you only.
• In the public profile folder (C:\Users\Public\Desktop). They are visible to all users.

You should now know why the deleted shortcut disappeared from both desktops.

Deleting a shortcut does NOT delete the file or folder it refers to. I recommend you run some tests to confirm this.
