Why the icon disappears. Disappearance of labels in case of system failure

It was time to consider the problem when the icons disappeared from the Windows 10 desktop. This can happen after the next update, and without the apparent reason, for example, after the PC is turned on. Oddly enough, Microsoft representatives never called the exact source of the problem, and only recommend a couple of options for its solution. Another users found themselves.

The simplest method of returning icons on the desktop

First of all, you need to check the system settings. It is possible to visualize the desktop icons is disabled in the Windows 10 parameters.

To check the status of the option, call the desktop context menu, move the pointer to the first point of the drop-down menu and look at the "Display desktop icons" parameter stood the checkbox.

If everything is in order, remove it, then install it and update the desktop status through the same context menu or the F5 key.

Option number 2.

The next elementary accurate problem is the creation of a new desktop item. Open the context menu of the desktop, move the cursor to the "Create" option, click on any object, then click "Enter". Sometimes, so everything falls into place.

After, if the solution did not help, the created object delete.

Display parameters

In the new menu "Dozens" lighted its settings, which even an experienced user does not always know.

1. We call "Parameters" Windows 10 (climbing Win + I or through the Start context menu).
2. We visit the System section.
3. Activate the Tablet Mode tab.
4. We translate both switches to the "On" position, and then back to the "Off".
5. We close the window and update the desktop if its condition has not returned to the previous one.

Problems with conductor

XP users are familiar with the proposed way to solve the problem, and some of them, for sure, has already tried the proposed option. If earlier the conductor had to be launched or restart due to the invasion of viruses type Win.32, now this option is less likely, but still takes place.

1. Call the tool called "Task Manager".

2. Using the Start context menu, if it is displayed by combining Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC or any other.

3. In the dispatcher we find the process of the conductor (Windows Explorer) in the appropriate tab.

If it is, call the context menu of the item and execute the "Restart" command.

Or click on the button of the same name, highlighting the process. The latter will be restarted and the problem occurring is likely to disappear.

4. When the start is not displayed, and there is no conductor in the list of active tasks, click "File" and call the "Run" or "New Task" command.

5. Enter "Explorer" or "Explorer.exe" (no difference) and send the system to the system.

You can also run the command in the "Run" window, which opens using a Win + R combination.

In this way, the conductor will be launched, which for some reason did not turn on (the operation of malicious software) or was completed by someone.

Problems with file "explorer.exe"

If a message appears that the file is not detected or the tool is not available, it's time to check the system for viruses and make sure the file integrity is responsible for Windows 10 window interface. We check the system disk and RAM to malicious programs, then perform the SFC / ScanNow command through the window "Run" or Task Manager.

In order to check only the status of the file that is responsible for the graphic shell, follow:

sFC /Scanfile\u003dC:\\Windows oscplorer.exe.

In the case when all of the listed tips did not bring the desired result, the following can be implemented:

• check for Explorer.exe on the path to the above, if the file is missing, you need to roll back / resume the system;
• boot in safe mode and check availability if it is not - look for a source of a problem in Windows 10 launched services and programs;
• enable your computer from the last successful configuration - it is likely that it will return it to a normal working condition;
• replace Explorer.exe on its analogue, for example, copied from a friend who uses the same version of Windows 10 of similar bit, making a copy or by archiving the original and shutting the process of the conductor.

If there are references to removable drives or network directories on the desktop, which sometimes become inaccessible and are defined as non-working, their quantity must be reduced to a maximum of 4 pieces.

Navigating on records

Labels - This is the thing with which each user is found when working at a computer, smartphone or tablet. They serve in order to have a quick access to the desired programs, documents or folders. Most often, users launch various applications using shortcuts and even do not recognize this.

But, recently, I had trouble. Runing the computer, I found that on the desktop, the icons were not displayed on absolutely all shortcuts, instead the image window appears. The first thoughts that came to me in the head was that the virus was started on my computer because of which all the icons from labels were missing.

Without thinking for a long time, I'm using. After waiting for a half hour, a result appeared, which said that the computer is clean and viral programs on it was not detected. Of course, I knew that the antivirus check would not return to me missing icons from labels, but I did it in order to exclude the repetition of such a situation in the future.

So, since Antivirus found nothing, I began to do icons. Personally, I have, a lot of different labels are stored on the desktop to start programs, as well as a considerable number of folders to which I needed express access. Therefore, the perspective back to create icons using the "Send to the" Desktop "menu, I was not very pleased. So, I began to search for an alternative solution to this problem.

And as it turned out, there is a solution to this problem, and very simple. It is thanks to him, speaking several teams, I returned the not displayed label icons, all at once, spending for several minutes. And since this method helped me, I hurry will share it with you.

Return missing label icons

As I mentioned earlier, to return the missing icons, we need to register several teams. I think you yourself guessed that it would be necessary to do it in " Command line" So, opening " Start»We go to all programs in which the standard folder is looking for. In her find item " Command line", According to which by placing the right button, choose" Run on behalf of the administrator».

So, in the running utility, I draw each command in the one in which I will point below, while after the dialing of the desired line, click " ENTER»

1. For a while we remove the running process of the conductor (required to perform further actions) by typing the following line: taskkill / Im explorer.exe / f;
2. Next, we register: CD% UserProfile% \\ APPDATA \\ LOCAL;
3. aTTRIB -H iconcache.db;
4. Remove cache icons and icons: Del iconcache.db.
5. Now, you start the conductor back: Explorer;
6. We check and rejoice in a successful result;

After all these actions, missing icons appeared back, and the labels began to look like earlier. Perhaps in some cases, after execution of commands, you will need to restart the computer, so if you have not recovered icons or did not start the conductor, then you must do it.
