Desktop Icons Gone? Two Causes, One Empty Screen

One is a tick box and three clicks. The other moved your files somewhere else and never said so.

Windows has snapped windows for years. Four ways in, and three of them nobody is ever shown.

There is nothing to download. You remove the driver and let Windows put it back, which is backwards from every other install.

How many displays Windows thinks you have, and a screen capture permission list you have never opened.

Device Manager splits them in one look. The SD compatibility rule runs one way and explains half of these.

A printer that prints and will not scan rules out the cable, the Wi-Fi and the hardware in ten seconds.

It needs nothing installed and it provides no VPN service. Zero connections are saved on this laptop.

The route is the Camera app rather than Settings, and barcode mode is the switch nobody finds.

Six per-app lists nobody opens. On this laptop eleven apps may use the microphone and none has ever been refused.

Windows generated it at setup and never asked you. Microsoft files changing it under Security, which surprises most people.
