Windows 10: Desktop does not show all file icons

My Win10 Desktop seems to have problems. I can copy a file to the desktop but no icon show for it. But pressing WindowsE shows it as present.
Is there any way to ensure the icon always appears ?

Thanks.

:)

 

Trying to view my downloaded pictures via the new Windows 10.

Windows 10:

Downloaded all picture to a desktop icon on Windows 7-woked very fine for years.

Now when I click on desktop icon it shows all my file picture folders for 2 seconds that gets out of them and goes to quick access "picture" library does not open to show my pictures at all--empty!

Have 1,000 of pictures! a photographer.

You can pick your options for which desktops show taskbar icons, but your desktop files will always show on all desktops

For the other options (which desktops to show the taskbar icons on), open Settings and type "taskbar" into the search box.

 

I'd right-click the a blank area of the Desktop and choose View, try one of the selections available. If one has a lot of icons on the Desktop some can be hidden behind others and clicking one of the selections may make them show up.

 

'Align to grid' would make sure no icon can hide behind another.

 

Many thanks, but I don't think that the problem.. that option is ticked and there's only about 20 desktop icons in total.
I should add it's not all files (just some, maybe copied over LAN, still testing) and one in particular is present now but was missing yesterday.
Not an issue others have had ?
