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?

Hi Joe, reason I asked about laptop is because laptops might have another option that might make a difference. Check the following link:
https://www.easeus.com/file-recovery...0-upgrade.html
The website is actually for selling data retrieval software, but the suggestions they make to try first are worthy of mention here.

Another site here https://www.pttrns.com/how-to-fix-th...on-windows-10/ but ignore the advertisements.
