What do you mean disappeared your Fences with Icons?  Try double click anywhere on your Desktop.  Double click on Desktop acts as Hide/Unhide with fences.

What do you mean the desktop "disappeared?"  If you are missing all your icons, try double-clicking the desktop.

I'm having the same, and I think I can explain.

It is the same problem as before for me: on start-up the desktop is blank--no short cuts, fences, etc--even though fences is set correctly to start and not set to hide. Right-clicking on the desktop or executing explorer.exe causes the desktop to "appear."

I had corrected this by running fences as a delayed task, but something in the latest windows update is interfering with this.

I realize it's a minority problem, but it is incredibly frustrating.
