I turned on my Windows 10 PC and noticed all my desktop icons were gone, with the exception of Recycle Bin. The Search box is also gone. The toolbar icons appear intact. Never seen that happen before. Any idea what may have happened, and is it possible to revert the situation back to normal? Thanks for your help.
