    Desktop icons in recycle bin


    Hi guys,
    Having a small problem where i go to start my laptop in the morning after using it the night before and for some reason alot of my desktop icons have been sent to my recycle bin?
    So every morning i have to restore them all... it`s a bit annoying.
    I have Sync turned off in my account settings , apart from that i`m not sure why its happening?
    Wondering if anyone has any ideas?

    :)

    Missing desktop icons and recycle bin

    No problems on the current Windows 10 on three computers I have running dual screens. Desktop Icons only appear on the primary screen.

    All icons including the Recycle Bin not showing. The Recycle Bin could be the cause.

    There was a bug / glitch during the Insider Preview builds that would flash up a message saying the Recycle Bin was corrupted or missing.

    It seems that the Recycle Bin attempts to build a list of recycled files on all the drives on the computer. If the recycled files id is out of sync, that caused the bin to fail.

    Suggest:

    Copy some files; then delete them; then reboot and see if the Recycle Bin appears.

    Putting the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop.

    Hi Nicholas,

    Recycle Bin is a temporary storage that contains files that have been deleted but not yet permanently erased, allowing you to restore these files. To show
    Recycle Bin on Windows 10 desktop, kindly follow these steps:

    • Go to Control Panel by pressing Windows + X
      and clicking Control Panel.
    • Click Appearance and Personalization and go to Personalization.
    • Click Change desktop icons and check the box beside Recycle Bin.

    Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.
