Hopefully a small reminder of your previous question on the topic. Though this is an issue you have had for several years.

I have seen the suggestion a simple reboot of the computer might bring back missing icons.
You can also re-build icon cache. Another option is System Restore.

If all of your desktop icons are missing, they've probably been hidden accidentally. Right-click empty space on your desktop, go to "View," then make sure "Show Desktop Icons" is enabled.

Are you using a Laptop computer?
