Hi,

I've been dying to know what's this is, and i don't really get it : 

It happened 2 weeks ago, i "stopped" windows, and when i went to the office, the desktop vanished, no apps showing in the apps screen (don't know what it's called). And i got a message something like : "C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop is no available", but i found a fix, copying all the data from "c:\users" into that folder.

Why it's in two locations, users and in windows profiles ? why i lose the data when i copy the folders again and restart the system ? 

I ask for an explanation and the fix to the issue, if someone knows the origin please tell me.

System : 

- Windows 8.1 single language x64 (updated from windows 8 single language

- Sony vaio SVF15218SFW

- 4Gb of ram

- Intel i5-3337U

Thanks in advance.
