Windows 10: Windows Update issues, removed icons from desktop among other functions

Hello,I just downloaded a new Windows Update for Windows 11 version 23H2 through restarting my computer i.e. "Update and restart" and it seems to have caused some problems for my computer that I am unsure on how to fix.

How can I delete icons from my desktop only, without affecting anyone elses?
