Public desktop is not shown anymore since Windows 10 redstone












1















Since I upgraded to Windows 10 anniversary (redstone) the content of C:UsersPublicDesktop isn't shown anymore on users desktop, users only see their own desktop.



The permissions are okay (Read permission for Users group)
The public desktop folder is not empty and has the same shortcut it had before the update.

  • Can't repro this. Items in PublicDesktop shows up fine here. Checking the User Shell Folders (HKLM) is a good idea.

SETX PUBLIC "Location of your Public rootfolder" /M



Logoff, Logon
