    Windows just did an update and since this update I cannot right click on the desktop all of a sudden. As soon as I do, the desktop refreshes itself. There were no errors prior to the update.

    Margrave,

    If the problem symptom returns [Desktop showing the correct contents when looked at in File explorer but not when looking at the Desktop itself], right-click on an empty area of the Desktop and select Refresh.

    Many people have found that their Desktop's are not refreshing automatically and are forced to take this step. I searched & searched for a permanent solution but every suggestion I found either had no effect or had only a limited-duration effect.

    Thank you for the information. Let's try another workaround to fix this issue. Try these steps instead:

    • Right-click on any blank space in your desktop, hover over View and check
      Align icons to grid.
    • Press F5 to refresh.
    • Drag icons to where you want it to be then refresh it again.
    • Now open this folder location: %LocalAppdata% or C:\Users\{Your Username}\AppData\Local
      if Windows is installed in C drive.
    • Select View at the top corner the windows and check
      Hidden Items.
    • Delete the file name IconCache.db.
    • Once deleted, uncheck Hidden Items, close the folder.
    • Right-click on the desktop and Align icons to grid once more.
    • Refresh the desktop and restart PC.

    Check if the issue will persist after doing these steps. We also suggest that you update your display driver. If the issue continues after these troubleshooting steps, then we suggest that you submit a feedback through our
    Feedback Hub so our development team can investigate and review this issue.

    Let us know if you need anything else. We're here to help.

    No List of Desktop Programs After Refresh/Reset

    I just reset/refreshed windows 10 and chose the option to keep my files. The dialog said that all my desktop applicaitons would have to be reinstalled but that a list of them would be on my desktop when the refresh completed. Now the refresh has completed
    and the list of desktop programs is not on the desktop.
