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

    there must have been an update or something because when I put my computer to sleep, it took five or six shutdowns to get to sign on.   Now everything is screwed so badly I don't even know where to start.  May have to stop Windows updates altogether, If I'm ever able to get something I recognize.

    I was using my laptop without any problems. I shut it off and plugged it in to charge.  Now when I went on everything is missing.  My icons, my background, basically everything is not the same.  I tried clicking "view icons" and that did not work.  I don't know what is going on.  Can you please help?

    Thank you.
