The desktop is where we tend to store most of our files, applications or programs for quick access. It makes life easier for users by saving folders and shortcuts for convenient access to files and programs, rather than looking for a specific file in a specific location. This saves time.
However, many users report facing an issue where they cannot save files to desktop on their Windows 10 PC. So how do we fix this? Let's find out.
Solution: via the settings app
Step 1: Click on Home on the desktop and select settings in the context menu, located above the file energia option.
Step 2: A settings window, click Update and security.
