My Desktop Folder randomly changed to some foreign language and its the only thing that changed, I've looked around at other folders and its the only one. And there are no options to just rename. 

 

Does Anyone know how to change it back?

As far as I'm aware there isn't anyway to just change the name of one folder automatically without it affecting any other folders. Either someone is messing with you or you have some kind of weird malware.

It literally says Desktop in Japanese, and i nobody has touched this PC except me. i haven't downloaded anything weird either. Only Steam and Discord and a couple of addons for Elder Scrolls Online nothing out of the ordinary. ive used those mods for years and it was just an update so its not those.

Has any tech-savvy person been on your PC before you found this out?

Oh, then it might be a cheesy malware.

Try running any of the previously mentioned anti spyware removal tools while in safe mode WITHOUT networking capabilities.

 

I might be spoofing itself as legitimate software which is most of the time easy to bypass when using safe mode.

 

Good luck!
