My PC is working really normal before update. After I update my windows 10 the system show this message.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted. - OK
Then I click ok after that I only see recycle bin and task bar, which can not do anything background is black, so I restart by using ctrl+alt+delete and run safe mode(safe mode with network).
In safe mode it has no This PC it just has recycle bin and some program and I can't open any file location of any program after that I turn off my pc for 30 sec then open it the result is

Hi Thirut,
Open Windows File Explorer
On the View Ribbon, check the box marked 'Hidden Items'
C:\users\Default\
Right click and copy the Desktop folder contained in the Default Folder
Navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile
Right click and Paste the Desktop folder into the systemprofile folder
Restart (not shut sown) your PC
No you cant start windows explorer.
Press ctrl-alt-del as i mentioned, or right click in taskbar at bottom and select task manager
Then select file-》new task
You can then browse to executable you need
first in my case you can not open windows file explorer. you can only hack by using new tool opening. then you can see your folders. But in that type you do not have ability to change option hidden to visible. any hack trying didnt help
and desktop is empty
why Microsoft upgrade windows 10 and destroy every thing have ??
this is very serious problem you must almost send ne license key for new installation!!!
I experienced this after the latest update (October 2018) on my X1 Laptop.
After a few SIHost.exe errors and other errors, you end up with a black screen, with no access to the start button.
You can Ctrl-Alt-Del and go to task manager - from there use the file -> run menu to run cmd in admin mode to try other things.
However, if you go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 to create a update disk on USB, you can then run the startup from the USB using the method above (i.e via file->run).
After a few hours of messing about with other commands, this finally worked for me, and is a much safer way of doing it, as you are getting bang up to date files, rather then from other sources.
I would try this option first, as even creating other usernames and logging into those took forever and still had the same issues.
Go here.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Read through the option that says using the tool to create installation media for another pc. Even though it is for the pc you are using.
(It is the 2nd plus sign under download tool now.) Follow the directions.
If you download the tool first to your downloads folder then open the downloads folder and right click the file for the properties. Click in the unblock box at the bottom of the properties page. Then again right click the file and choose run as administrator. It will ask where you want to download the file choose your USB flash drive you have plugged in. Accept defaults if they are correct. The iso will download to your USB drive.
To install reboot pc with usb flash drive inserted. as soon as the pc is starting up (must be quick) keep on the F12 or (what ever your pc uses )key then choose to boot from usb drive once the boot menu comes up. Setup should start automatically.
Hope this helps.
