Desktop Redirect Error?

Hey guys, I'm back again with another error (You guys were amazing in helping me fix my BSOD about a year ago, thanks!)

Not sure how to explain this but here goes:

I started my computer up like normal and everything seemed ok.

It wasnt until I logged in that I realized that logging in took longer than normal.

Upon being logged in, I realize that everything is gone, and I have the default windows fresh start desktop.

I immediately look and my documents and folders as these are the most important for me and they were gone!

However, upon checking the C: drive, I realize that they are still in my hardrive and under my name (something like C://Users/David/My Pictures)

I find this really weird because Im also logged in as David

Any ideas?

Thanks again!

While i havent technically restarted, i have turned my computer on and off to no avail

*update* I just started my computer again and noted a message that went roughly like this: "You have been logged into temporary user profile, see administrator for details" or something like that...

This could possibly be a malware , just to make sure download Malwarebytes and run a quick scan. Let me know what happens afterwards.
