Thread: Desktop icons now missing on Windows 7

I install of Windows 7 64 Pro. Performed updates, loaded apps all are fine. Then on reboot desktop icons no longer appeared. I established that they were stationary chosen. I then went thru steps to remove iconcache.db but still no luck. Even when I go & create a new shortcut now, it won’t appear. Please help me to solve this problem.

You right click on desktop then view and then go to show icons on desktop is that checked.

It happens to at times on desktop when I modify theme. A reboot always seems to fix it though. It couldn't hurt to attempt altering theme and then rebooting right away to observe.
