    Missing Desktop icons after doing the May update.


    I just update Windows 10 from 1909 to the May update using the Windows update tool. When it finished installing and I rebooted my computer, I got a small message box to say that it did recognize the user and it wouldn't allow me to continue to the desktop. I then rebooted again and this time it did find my user name, but I noticed that half my games shortcuts were missing from the desktop.


    Does anyonehave any idea's why this has happened and what I can do to fix it? Thank you!

    :)
