Windows 10: Icons Very Slow to fill in on Desktop+ fix?

Hi. I have upgraded my windows 7 to windows 10 and when i start up the Desktop Icons fill in "INSTANTLY". I also have a laptop with windows 10 and it takes a long time to fill in the Desktop Icons. Is there anything that can be done to make the icons come up instantly like on the desktop?

PS: I tried creating a MaxCachedIcons String Value and a D-word Value, it helped but very very little. Anyone have any idea's on this? Thank You

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.

 

Cannot change desktop icon


Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
