Two of the programs I tried didn't work on my system. I reviewed the link that Marylin provided on how to edit the Windows registry in order to adjust icon spacing (horizontal and vertical), but figured it would be easier to find a freeware program that would do the same unfortunately Thank you Marilyn for emailing the solution. I'm not sure how this got changed, but I set it to the default -1125 setting, and everything went back to normal. When I did that, I found that my icon spacing was set to -38285, whereas Icon spacing has been removed from Windows 8 and 10 (via the desktop), and the only way to adjust this option is to modify the registry. " Dennis, I just wanted to let you know I figured it out what caused my Windows 10 desktop icons to go missing. She then emailed me back shortly after to say that she found a solution to her problem: I offered to investigate the problem further, but Marilyn had to leave for a meetingĪnd so we disconnected our session. Sure enough, the only icons on her desktop were two documents and one image Can you help? "Īdmittedly, I was perplexed Marilyn's question and offered to help through my
So I don't know why my Windows 10 desktop icons are missing. I read your article on ' How to Fix: Windows 10 Desktop Icons Missing', and have ensured that my system is not in Tablet Mode, I have never seen anything like this before. When I select 1 icon, the entire row of my desktop gets highlighted. I can only see three icons on my desktop and they are spaced out Do the same on the desktop and you only have three options: Large icons, Medium icons, and Small icons.I just upgraded to Windows 10 and almost all of my desktop icons are missing. Right-click in the Explorer Window, select View and you have Extra large icons, Large icons, Medium icons, List, Details, Tiles, Content. Let’s compare the contextual right-click menus in the Windows 10 Desktop and Explorer.
But can you change the Desktop icons view to Details or List view? Not unless you know how to, and that should change. You can change the icon view on the desktop just like that as well. When you want to change the icon view in Windows Explorer, you have to right-click on an empty space, select View and then the icon view you want. The default icon view on the desktop is set to Medium icons.
For instance, we place shortcuts to our most used programs and files on the desktop. Then there are things that don’t change, not that anybody minds, but they probably should. But there are some things that don’t change and that’s good because they shouldn’t. Windows 10 has a lot of new trickery up its sleeve when you compare it to Windows 7.
