Windows 10: screenshot of constant recurring issue. icons, backround, time gone

It is fine for a few days of up time, then things start to go away, usually like this, the time fails to update, gets stuck
the background goes black
Various icons start vanishing
gets steadily worse and after a week, it looks like this image.

It can though miraculously all reappear by itself without a reboot, reboots always fixes it temporarily.

This happens on 2 of my win10 pc, and every malware scan I run never shows anything wrong.

version is latest 1909

The mouse menus and chrome and apps all work fine, windows left menu icon works fine brings up apps.

:)

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
