Fix Desktop Icons Missing or Disappeared 

its been 2 years and this guy still helping people, thanks

This is the first time. I swear... THE FIRST TIME that I had a problem on my computer that was actually fixed by a youtube tutorial. Bravo and thank you.

3 years later and you just saved me a headache. Much love

You saved my life man!!! I would consider my self as someone with a decent amount of technical knowledge. But I was just unable to fix it. Nothing worked, resetting the icon settings, cleared the icon cache. All my windows pre-installed icons where gone and trying to open the control panel or explorer just displayed a blank screen. Even after botting windows from the recovery point didn't change it(at this point I wanted to give up). But the cmd command worked and after the restart, I was all back in place. So thanks for your help, you saved me a lot of time, effort, and frustration. THX! (Sorry for potential grammar mistakes, I'm from Germany ;) )

THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS ABOUT TO RESET MY ENTIRE PC

Another helpful tutorial! I had one icon gone missing, but kind of put it off...didnt know how to get it back. 😃

this is like the 5th different glitch my windows had and this video was a literal life saver. thx for what you're doing

Thank u so much i was literally about to cry the whole ocean

1:22 HOLY SHIT THANK YOU SO MUCH I never actually saw that

Thanks Brian. This worked at 4:00 1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator. 2. type "sfc /scannow" and press enter. 3. Then wait until the scanning is done. 4. After the scanning is done, go ahead and Restart your Computer.

Thanks , really good explanation , simple and straight forward

Thank you 🙏🏼 really helped me at work today I appreciate it!

Thanks Brian :-D i've never had this happen, but i'm not one to panic. (unless i run out of tea :). Has spywin10 still got the "Forgetting icon positions" problem? Earlier windows could just bang all the icons to the left without any reason, really annoying :-(

I’m still having issues

Absolutely spot on. Thank you so much for sharing this

Thanks, i was just using my pc and i noticed that all my app icons were gone but i could still see their name. The first solution fixed it. You deserve a like 👍

tnx. . . also for other fix and customization, google for Folderchanger
