    I have searched the entire morning for an answer for the following question:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/desktop-icons-stuck-on-top-of-screen-and-invisible/e9f13362-a204-4a6d-bde3-de4a95162295There is no answer in Microsoft community. I was able to find the answer after Googling for the whole morning. I am trying to come back to post the answer in the original question. BUT I could not find the button for "Reply". It is shameful for Microsoft.The solution is to modify the registry to restore the Desktop Icon Spacing numbers. The numbers are too big, so all icons are s

    I right clicked on the desktop through the windows explorer and it was unchecked

    No, no new icon can be created. It doesn't show up, it still shows an invisible wide icon at the top and when I click on it. It just shows my Recycle Bin

    Desktop Icons Stuck on top of screen and invisible

    So I was messing around with the Display Settings and I was curious what would happen if I changed the percentage of the of the Scale and Layout manually to about 300. After changing it back however, I now fully regret it because my screen looks fine but
    my desktop icons are now stuck to the top of the desktop, invisible and unmovable and stretched to the width of my desktop.

    I have a lot of personal files on my computer and it would take forever to transfer them over to my backup. So if there is a solution without requiring a reset on my whole computer than that would be awesome.

    I have included a photo since I tried looking online for solutions but I didn't see anything answers that matched my problem.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Also I have noticed that the dimensions of my screenshot is 1366 x 2053 instead of the normal 1366 x 768 even after my display settings says it is at 1366 x 768? This text is at the bottom of said image. I only pushed Enter once after putting the image in.
