C:/Users Folder Missing in Windows 7/8/10
Users folder coming with C drive is set by default when installing the Windows operating system. The folder contains multiple sub-folders which are used to keep some frequently used data, such as users profile, contacts, favorites, downloads, music, documents, videos, games, etc.
