When you start up Windows 10 desktop.ini automatically opens the following content

[.ShellClassInfo] LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21787

Why
This happens if the Hidden attribute for the desktop.ini file is somehow removed. Follow these steps to resolve the problem:

Open an elevated Command Prompt window.
To do so, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Type the following commands:

attrib +s +h “%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini”
attrib +s +h “%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\desktop.ini”
EXIT

Press Enter
