Hi everyone,


I have two problem about desktop icons. Firstly icons are on other icons. Secondly icon selection field width size is so big .


How can I fix this situations or how restore factory setting for only icon?

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.

Problem with desktop icons

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This issue could be caused if the Desktop Icons are hidden.

1. May I know, if you are aware of any recent changes made to the system after which you are facing this issue?
2. Which version and edition of Windows is installed on the computer?

I suggest you go through this articleShow, hide, or
resize desktop icons follow the steps, if the icons are hidden, you should get it back.



If you want to pin any icon to desktop you can check

Pin apps and folders to the desktop or taskbar and you can easily access them from the desktop screen.



If you still face the issue, reply to this post with more information.



Hope it helps.
