Windows 10: Windows - change of desktop

I just clicked on an icon that appeared to be Microsoft. It changed my desktop and removed or deleted all files except my internet security applications. Is there a way to restore to the previous & recover files?

How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

Cannot change desktop icon

Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
