Just the other day when I loaded the computer, I got this error message:

C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop refers to a location
that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on
a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or
that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try
again.If it still cannot be located, the information might have been
moved to a different location.

I have also been having the "Dependency service or group failed to
start" problem for many of the programs I try to load. It just occurred
the other night.

I did try the cmd sfc/scannow, but it told me that I must be an
administrator running a console session and I get the same dependency
service message when I try to run something as an administrator.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I feel like part of this problem is stemming from a problem with
my Dell not recognizing my charger. It will keep the laptop powered, but
it won't charge the laptop. I'm sitting at 0% charge whenever I'm
working on my laptop and am on Power Saver power plan which makes things
run slowly and less efficiently.

Any solution for that problem would be appreciated as well.

Thank you.

Forgot to mention that the desktop is completely cleared of anything but
the recycling bin.

Because Dell like other box builders tinker with how their system is
setup and may do non standard things you usually are better off asking
specific questions relating to their products in the appropriate
forum. Good luck.

Seems to happen when you turn off UAC, install some sofware that creates
desktop icons, then turn UAC back on. That error message pops up after
rebooting.

I've looked in the Security tab of Document And Setting folder and found a
Deny Everyone entry on each of the sub-folders. I removed them all but still
have the same error message poping up after rebooting.

Had to turn off UAC to re-establish normal behavior. By that I mean, no
missing desktop error message, desktop icons re-appering, search working, etc.
