Hi Amro,
If your user folder was on the start menu before the latest update, then it should still be there, though in a different place.
After opening the start menu, if you press tab twice to move to the navigation menu list, you can then arrow down till you find your user folder in that list.
If it isn't in that list, you can customize the list in the settings app. One way of doing this is to:
1. Open the start menu.
2. Type in some of all of "choose which folders appear on start", and press enter. The settings app opens at the appropriate page.
3. tab to the personal folder button and if necessary press spacebar so that it is on/checked (depending on your screen reader).
For more info on the start menu, it's covered in this guide to the taskbar:

An alternative to the start menu, is to put an icon on the desktop:
1. Open the start menu.
2. Type desktop icons. This should select "show or hide common icons on the deskop". Press enter. The desktop icons settings dialog opens.
3. Tab to the computer icon.
4. Press down arrow till you get to user files. If this in not checked, press spacebar to check it.
5. Press enter to press the default ok button.
David.

Hi all, on Windows 10, what’s the easiest way to get to your user folder? After the latest update I could only access my user folder through opening Computer (This PC) and then going into my hard drive. There must be a quicker way of accessing my user folder! I’ve no idea why Microsoft removed its shortcut from Start Menu. Thanks.
