  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    Windows 10 Taskbar Icons Gone?

    Hi,

    I have the same issue, but none of the above methods helped to resolve the problem.

    What are the next recommended steps?

    Missing icons include:

    • Microsoft Mail
    • Microsoft Store
    • Spotify
    • Settings (if open)

    Thanks.
