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

Clipboard history feature in Windows 10 October 2018 update missing (not listed/show/appear) in Settings > System

Thanks Greg. Now I understand that the feature isn't available in standard updates yet.

My hope were raised by this article:

Clipboard History In Windows 10 October 2018 Update

Clipboard History In Windows 10 October 2018 Update (Windows 10 Version 1809) – Cloudeight InfoAve

However, upon checking I see that my Win 10 update is version 1803, and the author of article has version 1809.

 

Desktop Icons disappeared

Hi Kinsley,

• Are you referring to the desktop icons?
• When did the icons disappear? Did you make any changes to the system Settings?

It's possible that your device is in Tablet mode. I suggest you to turn it off and check if the icons appear. To do so, select the
Action center icon on the taskbar (the little message box next to the date and time), and then select
Tablet mode to turn it on or off.

Also refer the following thread which discusses about a similar issue.
