    Desktop icons disappear after hard reboot on Windows 10? k1FuDmpEl2kIcszbU_mzHNrF--fw9fyThb7Spsf2ui8.jpg

    I am making an arcade version of Sim City 2000 and I am having trouble with the icon on the desktop disappearing after a hard reboot.

    For instance the "arcade" features a "world reset" button that allows you to power cycle the single-board-computer inside (a LattePanda v 1.0). This effectively hard turns off the computer, waits 5 seconds (Arduino timer + relay), and then turns it back on. With auto-boot enabled it will bring you right back to the desktop to play again.

    However, about 10-20% of the time the desktop icon will be missing after reboot. I then have to find the .exe and replace it on the desktop.

    Please note I have hid the rest of the Recycle Bin, etc.
    But, I do still have the "Show Desktop Icons" enabled.

    + Anyways, how can this be fixed?

    + Is there a better way to do this?

    + What might I try to make sure that the desktop icon was always back in it's place?

    + What might be going wrong? Are there other ways to test or better restart the machine to avoid this?

    Thank you!

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.

    Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

    Desktop icon suddenly disappear after reboot

    I use windows 10 64 bit home single language, all of a sudden my desktop icons began to disappear after every reboot even though I have "Show Desktop Icons" checked in the desktop properties menu. When I reboot the icons show
    for just a moment then disappear, I open desktop properties and uncheck show desktop icons and then recheck the box and they show up again until the next shutdown or reboot.

    Windows Update does it again: Disappearing Desktop Icons

    Hello

    After I updated a ton of security updates with care to only update the certain critical ones no anything else.


    The hardcoded icons have disappeared during reboot, those icons that you drag out of start menu and it automatically creates it, and the network icon that you right-click in the start menu and select "show on desktop"

    But there was also a freeze during the update process, when rebooted it re-do the stuff that it does at boot so i think it was fine , but the icon thing happend, it always has to be something.

    I so hate the windows update, I haven't updated for half a year and now i did a manual careful update and I think i will never do it again for win7 EVER on this PC.

    Icons keep disappearing after a certain period of days while several sessions passed. Let's say every 5 days or a week, 3 times now. I want to have my system stuff out like Control panel, add remove programs, all the sys stuff.


    EDIT: Exact icons are "network" "sound" and "programs and features"

    Found something it can be certain settings for icon cleanup
