Windows 10: Desktop disappeared

I have been using Windows 10 for some time now. I just lost everything on my desktop. I had numerous folders,pictures, pdfs and some music. I can still get to it by going to file manager etc. But the folders and icons do not appear on the desktop. Only those boxes with calendar email, etc,

I probably clicked something to turn it off, but I can find anywhere to turn them back on. HELP Please.*Confused

Every time I log in to my PC or tablet, my desktop background picture disappears

Original Title: Disappearing desktop

Since upgrading to Windows 10, every time I log in to my PC or tablet, my desktop background picture disappears. How can I fix it?

 

Desktop Icons keep on Disappearing after every re-boot.

Hello

I hope that someone can point me in the correct direction. My issue started couple of weeks ago, when after every reboot my desktop icons will disappear. I then right click on desktop / view / click on show desktop icons - after which the icons will display
again. Sadly however, desktop icons will disappear again on my next reboot.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks

Hello Bob Gee Welcome to the Ten Forums!

One method to see all those folders refreshed as far as showing up on the desktop would be moving them into a different temp folder perhaps on a different location on the C drive and restart the system so no traces are found once Windows loads the desktop again. Once everything is fully loaded up you then move them back into the users\user account\Desktop folder to have them appear fresh.

Occasionally Windows will tend to forget things. Device drivers go inactive and suddenly you lose sound or something else doesn't work until they are refreshed. Likewise this would be a first thought on how to see them restored desktop wise. That should see an instant result.

 

Bob Gee,
You might have tablet mode turned on.

On the right side of your taskbar, there is an icon call Notification > click it > click Tablet mode.
See if you get your desktop back.

 

Thank You it Worked

Thank you, but it was in tablet mode. It is resolved. Thank you for resaponding

 

You are welcome.
Please mark your thread as Solved.
Thank you.

 

The important thing is you found out where the problem was. I haven't been using the Tablet mode at all since I never use tablets, touch phones, netbooks while staying mainly with desktops and laptops often servicing them! At least now you know what to look for! *Smile
