    Hide or Show Desktop Icons in Windows 10


    I did the regedit. The first entry was already 0. Changed the second and rebooted. And rebooted, and rebooted and... No internet connect. [This has been been preventing logon since day 1, for some reason.] Left the house for 3 hours, and all fixed except, still no icons on the desktop and right click on desktop still completely ignored.
    Would you advise I change register back?

    You might see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before this started to hopefully undo it.

    Tried it. Said something was wrong, restore didn't happen, nothing deleted after all (I liked that part). Then even after 3 or 4 more reboots, no communication (like before). Just now, after 5 hours, the net reappeared. Like before. My best thought is a bad WIFI dongle, mangling the Win 10 install(s?) so win is sorta crippled.

    Count me in the list of users who can't get their desktop icons back. Any attempt at right-clicking or long-pressing the desktop is ignored. *Sad

    Thanks. Already discovered another thread with the "hit Shift-F10" solution. Worked like a charm. *Smile

    Try this: Reboot, then login and when the desktop appears click on it a couple of times to give it the focus. Then hit Shift-F10. This should cause the Desktop context menu to appear in the upper left corner of the desktop display area. Then select the "View" submenu and click on the "Show desktop icons" menu item.

    On some keyboards (ex: laptop), you may need to press the Function (FN)+Shift+F10 keys instead while you have the desktop in focus.
