Just noticed that the folder tree is displaying 2 "Desktop' folders. I only have "Recycle Bin" and "This PC" icons on my desktop so I assume that's why the folders are empty. Running Windows 10 pro x64.
I went back to Beta 8 and it's also displaying incorrectly.
What do you see in File Explorer for the same part of the tree?
You need to turn on Explorer's "show all folders" option to see the user profile folder in the tree in Windows 10:
If you do that and expand the "Bob" branch, does it have two Desktop folders below it as well?
Hi Leo,
I found the problem. I changed the location of many of my "user" folders to a different drive, including "Desktop" quite a while ago. Apparently a new "Desktop" folder was created on my C: drive some where along the way. Sorry to have taken up some of your time.
MS has made the folder tree such a god awful mess... FWIW, I've seen this same issue since moving to Windows 10 on 2 different computers, twice on each computer. All 4 times it was either the Desktop or OneDrive item this happened with.
But it didn't seem like they got RE-created - they just never went away to begin with (or else reappeared so rapidly I never noticed them being gone).
