  1. desktop problem


    Recently I had to re-install Windows on my Surface studio Win10. having done so, it now has its own desktop icons but it has also duplicated the desk top from my Surface Pro Win 11. This is really annoying as I now have at least 2 of everything on both desktops and if I delete any duplicates, it then deletes them from the other device. I have been told on here that I need to sign into a different MS account so I can keep them both separate. This cannot be the case as I have had these devices for years & never had this problem before. I understand that files & folder changes in One

    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    desktop problem

    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 ?.
