    In Windows 10 there are two Desktop folders, one is the Desktop folder in your user profile folder in C:\Users and the other (the Default) is inside the OneDrive folder in your user folder, which of those folders is the copied folder located in in File Explorer?

    If you right click your Desktop and select View, is 'Show Desktop icons' selected?

    Hello aldosantilano, welcome to the Microsoft community, I'll be happy to help you today;

    Where did you copy this folder from?

    Try right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "Refresh";

    Check if the folder appears;

    If it still doesn't appear, try creating a new folder on the desktop and copy the files that are inside the folder you had copied to the desktop previously;

    I hope I have helped, see you soon!
