Reinstalled Windows 10 has 2 Desktops, the 2nd is above ThisPC Window.
I have a 2nd Desktop above ThisPC access via the up arrow ( up one level ).
I have reinstalled Windows 10 using a USB, that should be a clean install, but the problem is still there - how?.
Have i got the wrong end of the stick, or was the Windows structure always like this.
So i open ThisPC folder it looks correct - folders Docs, Music.... Disc Drives C: ... Opening the Desktop folder that is in ThisPC is fine, shows 1 file on my desktop - correct.
Click back to ThisPC - and at the top is an up arrow, the arrow that takes me up one level to a different Desktop,
one that has folders in it.
O.K so i click the up arrow and it takes me up to a Window that is titled Desktop in the address bar.
It has icons for
Onedrive,
a copy of my username folder from Users,
ThisPC,
Libraries,
an external drive E: i plugged in,
Network,
Control Panel and
R-Bin
- whats going on ???
None of the above links and folders are in my desktop accessed through the ThisPC window.
So now in this 2nd Desktop ? i can open ThisPC icon and go up another level (up arrow) and repeat forever. Into ThisPC and then up arrow to the 2nd Desktop which contains a ThisPC icon and a copy of my username folder from Users.
Is the 2nd desktop ( which also contains myusername folder ( the one from Users folder )) a corruption of a secondary account.
Is this a bug in Windows itself - because this is a clean install via Media from a USB created by downloading the Media Creation Tool.
If Media Creation tool uses my system files to create the boot i can see if my registry is corrupt it would pass the corruption on, but as i understand it media creation tool uses a clean copy from Microsoft.
This is the 3rd reinstall and i have this other desktop above the ThisPC folder ?.
