    Windows 10 Pro, I'm missing Desktop icons after doing the May update.


    I just update Windows 10 from 1909 to the May update using the Windows update tool. When it finished installing and I rebooted my computer, I got a small message box to say that it did recognize the user and it wouldn't allow me to continue to the desktop. I then rebooted again and this time it did find my user name, but I noticed that half my games shortcuts were missing from the desktop.


    Does anyonehave any idea's why this has happened and what I can do to fix it? Thank you!

    :)

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.

    Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

    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.
