    Cannot find Desktop Icon in File Explorer

    Now that is interesting. If I do what you suggest, File Explorer Address bar changes to C:\Users\username\documents and the missing ICONS are there. But there is still not a "Desktop" folder.

    Is this a step in the right direction?

    Missing iexplorer.exe in the Window explorer File

    -

    Just to verify, before I toss out other suggestions.

    Have Cortana find

    Turn Windows features on or off.

    If Internet Explorer is listed check it and click OK.

    See if you can create shortcuts and use IE

    1. Internet Explorer is in the list and is checked?

    2. You do not have iexplore or iexplore.exe files in either of these folders?

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer"

    "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer"
