You may have accidentally hidden the icons.

To unhide desktop icons:

  1. Right-click on the desktop and open the "Arrange Icons By" sub-menu.
  2. In the sub-menu, click "Show Desktop Icons" to uncheck it.

Hope this helps

    I understand that icons do not appear on the desktop.

    What is your operating system (Windows 10, Windows XP etc.)

    In the case of Windows 10, right-click on the desktop, click "View", then click on "Show desktop icons"

    Hope this helps
