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

    My problem was that the icons moved to the second monitor and resisted all suggested solutions to arrange them back to my laptop. What finally worked was simply to select all, and drag them over to where I wanted them.

    Cheers Derek
