    Taskbar and desktop icons not display


    Taskbar and desktop icons not displaying.
    For some reason I've lost all my desktop icons and my taskbar, all the displays is my normal desktop background.
    Any suggestions please? Thanks

    How you tried all the normal "fixes" yet? A system restore to a time before this started? A sfc /scannow?

    Welcome to Seven Forums.

    Right click on Desktop > View > Show desktop icons

    Right click on Start Orb > Properties > Taskbar tab > remove check next to Auto-hide the taskbar > Ok

    Did that fix it?
