Remove Linux Desktop Icons

Lost desktop icons

Hi,

Misconfiguration in Windows Settings is the usual cause why the desktop icons are missing. If you did not manually delete the icons, you can try the following steps to be able to view the icons on your desktop.

• Right-click on your desktop.
• Click on View.
• Make sure that the Show desktop icons option is checked.
  
  
  

If the same issue persists, you can restore your Windows 10 by using the system restore point. Visit this
link for further information about the recovery options in Windows 10. Follow the steps under Restore from a system restore
point.
