A user profile is a place where Windows 10 stores a collection of settings and preferences, making a user account the way it looks for that particular account. All these settings and preferences are stored in a folder called User Profile folder located in C:UsersUser_name. It contains all the settings for screensavers, desktop background, sound settings, display settings and other features. The User Profile also contains users personal files & folders such as Desktop, Documents, Download, Favorites, Links, Music, Pictures etc.
