    Hi, good day!

    • When was the last time it worked properly?
    • Have you made any changes to your computer recently?

    Please make sure Desktop Icons Are Enabled

    Right-click an empty area of the desktop.

    Select View.

    Verify that Show desktop icons is checked.

    If it isn't, click it once to enable your icons.

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below instead of Yes or No button.
