Windows 10

That's strange, Windows has decided that all your apps are installed as public which means if you set up another account they'll see them (in theory) whereas if they'd been set up as private then only you would see them. Yours seems to be the wrong way around.

I'm not sure if it's the Microsoft account versus Local account that's screwed things up, you could try creating another (local) account and see if that account can see them in the desktop folder.

Alternatively you could select everything on the desktop and hold down ctrl while dragging to your folder to create copies as suggested earlier by yorknomore. I would then try installing something else (absolutely anything will do) and see if it creates a shortcut on both.

Appreciate your help, and everyone elses.

No problem bud.

If you do create another account and it works as it should then you could use that instead and delete the original one, just make sure that you move any personal stuff you can't lose to a folder in the root of your C:\ drive so you can move it back to your documents folder or where ever.

@pudge, if you click on this link http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-8 and then click on 'Create a Microsoft Account' there's a link to a diagnostic app 'Microsoft Accounts troubleshooter' within a grey box. When it's downloaded (it's very small) just click on it and let it check your system.

Installation failing at 18% just after it says shutting down. Removed all usb attachments, disabled windows defender and antivirus. Dvd drive seems to be doing a bit of searching, disc is clean but may try burning another.

It says that's for a previous version of windows though, will it still work on 10?

Here's a bunch of security issues in W10, and how to solve them. FYI.


EDIT: Not sure why it is a picture of a handbag, but it links to the right place.

Thanks for that, luckily enough most the privacy stuff is only if you use a Microsoft account! I avoid that shit like the iCloud, stuff just doesn't become personal with shit like that!

I've got past the point it was getting stuck. Sounded like it was struggling to read dvd disc and it appears it was., new disc burned with checking features on
