Windows 10: Update to V.2004 (OSBuild 19041.630) Now cannot view desktop icons.

With the previous version of W.10 ( Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.572) and every previous version of Windows I have used The main advantage were Icons representing up to 60 different folders and whatever I had pasted containing all my files and sub folders in front of me at the end of start up as I switch off my computer when not in use. The nice picture of a night time tent and stars or whatever being wallpaper was just that. A wall to paste something on.
Now my folders have gone from display and I cannot even paste a new folder on the wallpaper. To get to the previous desktop folders I have to go hunting.
How can I return my Windows to looking at my work and not looking at Microsoft Artwork.

Remove Linux Desktop Icons

I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
