Windows 10 A several weeks ago I no longer see my users subdirectory on my d drive in various applications and now window tools, such as the file explorer.

I'm logged into my computer as a user, and see my subdirectory under the C:\user directory, but more and more I no longer see the same named directory under the D:\users directory. This first started back in January in various programs, but I could see my user directory with the windows file explorer tool. Today, when I used the windows file explorer tool, I didn't see my user directory under the D:\user directory.


However, I know that my user directory is there because if I type in my user name into the directory path input, my name is offered as a choice, and accepting it does display the directory and the subdirectories. Also, when I navigate down into these directory, I can read, write, create, and delete files and subdirectories without being prompted for access. Finally, in the windows file explorer, if I enable display of the the owner column, I see my user name.


This is increasingly this is becoming a problem in some programs, because when they try to access configuration information stored under the D:\users\username\... subdirectories, they can't find them.


I'm using the latest version of window 10 home. The programs that I'm having trouble worked fine in windows 10 last year. I'm using a very good, and upto date virus checker, which also looks for malware, and it doesn't find any problems.


Any ideas what is wrong and how to fix it?


Thank you
