    Icons dont show up


    Any app from the Microsoft store or picture/video does not show a thumbnail. They just have a picture icon. The icons still show in the taskbar, but not in the search bar/file explorer.

    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.
