    My desktop shows no icons

    Hi Aleksandar!

    I had the same problem, no icons showing on my Desktop, they're in my File Explorer folder, but not showing on the actual desktop itself. And I just discovered how to fix it! Go to your blank desktop (the actual one, not the File Explorer folder), right-click
    anywhere; a popup menu will appear hover over "View" and a submenu will appear. Move your cursor over to the new submenu and roll down to "Show Desktop Icons" and click. PRESTO! Your icons will appear, and you can further customize how they appear with
    the other menu selections on the right-click desktop menu.

    Hope that helps! I'm loving Windows 10! Hover over desktop icon and a popup shows the programs location folder :D

    Cheers!

    new folder in documents

    Another way is if you are in File Explorer right click Documents, in the popup scroll down to New and hover and move to folder and click on it. This will show a New folder, right click on it and then on Rename. The New folder shows a color over it and
    you click on it and type your new name for the folder.
