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

Stupid updates messing with my settings*Mad

 

Windows Update does it again: Disappearing Desktop Icons

Couple of things:

Disappearing icons during normal use is not something that Windows tends to do, so there's a problem somewhere on your system.

Leaving Windows Update for so long is asking for problems. Set the updater to download critical updates, but install only when you say so. This way, Windows will be kept up to date and the updates will be a lot smaller, reducing the chance of something going wrong.

So, what's infrarecorder?

 

WiFi icon disappeared

Hello, I own a ASUS ROG STRIX. In this laptop the WiFi icon has been disappeared. I’m unable to access the Internet. I have tried all the options, but nothing worked. The WiFi icon is appearing for the first 2-3 minutes at the time of turning on the laptop and then it gets disappeared. This problem occurs each and every-time of the laptop turn on. Can you please suggest me the solutions?
