Windows 10 update 1803 has a bug that prevents you from viewing it desktop your. Its operating system Microsoft seems unable to find (on some systems) the C: \ windows \ system32 \ config \ systemprofile \ desktop folder.
This particular error as we said above does not let you access your desktop, and it can appear if you update an older version but also after a clean installation.
Below we will see two different ways to fix the bug:
1. Press the two Win + R keys together to open RUN. Type cmd.exe and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open the command line with administrator privileges.
Type the following command and press enter.
control userpasswords2
The command will open its "User Accounts" window. Add a new user by clicking the Add button. You can add a local user or someone with a Microsoft account.
Once you have added the user, restart Windows and log in to the new account. It's the easiest way to avoid losing your files and not having to re-install your apps.
2. If the above method doesn't work, you have two options but you may lose files and applications on your system. You will need to create a Windows 10 installation disc.
use it bootable media creation tool and create a USB that can install Windows 10. Run it on your computer, and it will ask you if you want to upgrade your current installation. Select the upgrade option and when prompted, choose to keep files and applications.
If the error occurs again, try the previous solution one more time. If it still doesn't work, you should do a clean install of Windows 10. To keep your files, you should try booting from Live USB back up the data you need.
Your applications will be lost…
