Windows 10: desktop changes to tile view photo and icons dissappear until I click the show desktop...

throughout the day my desktop photo will change.It will look normal, photo showing on entire desktop with my icons.then the pic will randomly change to just the center and the left and right sides are a color. It is whatever color I have picked if I were to use just a color background. If I have not picture selected it will do the same thing with color but there will be 2 colors. when it does this the icons dissappear.to get them back I either have to click the show desktop button or open up anohter program. desktop icons are not hidden.I have tried choosing other themes, pictures, solid col

Desktop icons

After this last update, the desktop completely changed. The desktop icons disappeared and the Start window functions also changed. There is no longer a list of programs coming up on the left side of the screen and the tiles showing on the right. Only the
tiles aare showing up on the whole screen. A right click on the desktop does not work. All I can find are solutions from 2015.

Any suggestions?

 

Desktop Icons

Hello,

Some configuration on your desktop settings must have been changed. To address your concern, follow the steps below:

• Right-click anywhere on your desktop > Click View.
• Make sure there's a check mark beside Show desktop icons.
• Check if the desktop icons are now appearing.

Let us know the status of the issue.

 

Remove Linux Desktop Icons

I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
