Windows Update does it again: Disappearing Desktop Icons

Hello

After I updated a ton of security updates with care to only update the certain critical ones no anything else.


The hardcoded icons have disappeared during reboot, those icons that you drag out of start menu and it automatically creates it, and the network icon that you right-click in the start menu and select "show on desktop"

But there was also a freeze during the update process, when rebooted it re-do the stuff that it does at boot so i think it was fine , but the icon thing happend, it always has to be something.

I so hate the windows update, I haven't updated for half a year and now i did a manual careful update and I think i will never do it again for win7 EVER on this PC.

Icons keep disappearing after a certain period of days while several sessions passed. Let's say every 5 days or a week, 3 times now. I want to have my system stuff out like Control panel, add remove programs, all the sys stuff.


EDIT: Exact icons are "network" "sound" and "programs and features"

Found something it can be certain settings for icon cleanup

Stupid updates messing with my settings*Mad

 

Windows Update does it again: Disappearing Desktop Icons

Icons disappeared after the update, i know it was one of te 80+ updates

The link i found on msdn is to audit the events that accounts do and i will hunt down which process does it. But they say this issue happens on monday, YES today is thursday and I was only logged in yesterday in morning for a short time and not again until today.

Damn you microsoft.

EDIT: I've set up the auditing for deleting and when it happens again it will trace what did it, need to wait a week or so.
