Windows 10: Desktop icons not displaying when i start windows, can't right click on the empty desktop...

Hello.


Please i need an assistance. i have an Alienware system with a windows 10 os and i was working on the system and a minor glitch occurred with a msg box display with information i couldn't decipher, but everything was intact till i finished work and had the system shut down.


later on i had to put on the laptop and on booting up i saw the desktop icons weren't displaying, even the task bar icons but i had to get those back. but on the desktop i can't right click, cant resize a folder to a medium size, if i want to do it, it kind of divides the screen in two. but when i want to open a folder a kind of flash happens and i could see my original desktop icons and in milliseconds i cant see them anymore. it look as if another screen is blocking the main screen. and with the incident my battery doesn't go full charge anymore.


How can i go about it. Thanks

:)

 

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.

 

Desktop Icons Won't Stay Put

Hi Laurie,

As per the issue description I understand that you are facing issues with desktop icons.

I suggest you try the following step in order to arrange the icons.

• Right click on the desktop.
• Click on view
• Check the option auto arrange icons.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks.

 

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?
