Recycle Bin icon not displaying in Windows 10

I had lost my icons on my desktop after upgrading to a home build. I lost the recycle icon and followed all the steps on this page over and over and it did not help. I kept playing around and found an easy way to restore all icons.

On your desktop screen right click you mouse, a windows will open the first thing on the list is view hold your mouse over it and another small window or tab will come up, it should say on there show icons on desktop click on that and it will put a checkmark
on and all your icons will appear.

I assume when I got an update Microsoft must of unchecked the box. This is easier and quicker than all the other suggestion by Microsoft.

Hope this help anyone else having issues.
