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 can't get my " Short cuts icons " due to this window 10 taking over.

    Just right clic on your screen then clic on View then at the bottom clic on Show desktop Icons.  Hope this will fix your problem  have a good day
