    My desktop suddenly disappeared. What happened and how to recover?


    Thank you again dalchini. I am of the old school, "KISS". Also, thank you for the heads-up about Macrium R. I plan to research it soon. I also implemented Classic Shell as recommended by NavyLCDR and it's working great. I like it very much. Meanwhile I am happy to get past yet another Win 10 attack, bloodied but alive. Oh, did I say I HATE WINDOWS 10.

    I'm holding off on the Creator's update for a few months (with Pro you can defer features updates). If they do the same as previously, there'll be a big update or so 2-3 months after the public release.

    And creating or updating your disk image before upgrading is a wise defensive move.
