Hey guys I have a software problem. I launched a game in full screen and when alt tabbed, all my desktop icons were gone. Here's what i've tried:
1) Clicked view on desktop and it's checked but no icons show
2) Did SFC scan, found corruption > repaired > restarted, still no icons. Ran again, no corruption > restarted > nothing
3)my explorer.exe is not found in task manager but it is running as I can use task bars and the windows icon so I went to regedit > foundexplorer.exe and no alterations on the registry > ran virus scan > nothing
4)I have a desktop folder in windows explorer and when I try to copy the folder into the actual desktop, the only options are skip or cancel because it already exists in desktop but doesn't physically show.
5)Able to set new icons on desktop but some disappear after! I place a gpu-z in my desktop and move it around and it stays, however placing a steam icon on the desktop it stays but if I place it on the left side it disappears!
Any ideas?
I did shift from 8700k to 8600k a few days ago if that's a factor
