    Desktop Icons Replaced with Small Rectangle, Can't Right Click


    All of my desktop icons are missing and are replaced by this white gradient rectangle in the top left of the screen. I also am not able to right click on the desktop. I believe that restarting my PC solves the problem, but this happens quite frequently so I don't want to restart my computer every time this happens. Any help would be appreciated!

    • Click Apply and OK.
    If the issue still persists, you can change the size of desktop icons.

    • Right-click an empty space on the desktop.
    • Select View and choose either Large, Medium or Small icons.
    • Check if you can change the size of the taskbar button.
    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
