My shortcuts on the desktop disappears after update? Its only shortcuts that are stored on computers player remaining on the desktop. Hope someone can help me? Thank you!

Hi PiaPoulsen,

-The problem only happens with shortcuts or all the desktop icons?

Follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Create a new user account and check if the problem is recurring in the newly created account.

Step 2:

If the problem does not persist in the new user account, it could indicate that your old user account is corrupted.

For instructions on repairing the corrupted user profile, see repair a user profile corrupted .

    Hi Karl,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    It appears from the description of the problem you are facing problems with shortcuts under Windows 7.

    This can happen if the resolution of the problems of maintaining the system detects the shortcuts as incorrect.

    The resolution of the problems of maintaining the system performs a weekly maintenance of the operating system. The resolution of the problems of Maintenance of the system automatically solves problems or reports problems through the Action Center. When there are more than four shortcuts broken on the desktop, the resolution of the problems of Maintenance of the system automatically deletes all shortcuts broken from the desktop.

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will definitely help you with this.

    1 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    Please click on Start menu and copy over the command in the search box and press ENTER.

    If please clear all items in this folder and restart the computer.

    Method 4:
