win7 my icons are not showing
I am having problem with win7 my icons are not showing on the desktop but if I go to my computer and desktop I will find all my icons. Which command I can run to fix this problem
Did you turn off tablet mode?
It's not clear what you're seeing. If you're seeing an empty desktop, hit F5 to refresh. If your desktop has been redirected to a network drive, then it's possible the server is unavailable at the moment. Is this a home computer or an office computer?
