Hello,

I don't think they are missing, most probably they're inside a fence and that fence was accidentally moved to another desktop page.You can try few things:

1) Switch the desktop pages, "alt"+ "Left or Right arrow" on the keyboard.

2) Reset Fences to it first use state by Layout snapshot as suggested by Azdude above, just instead of restoring yesterday snapshot, try restore the "First Use Snapshot" that should bring back all the icons. Make sure you saved your current setting before you do the restore.

Try that and let us know.

Thank you,

When I leave my computer, I double-click to not show the icons. Fences took three snapshots of this desktop. Now double -click shows the blank screen.  I retrieved the desktop file from backup, but can't move icons to the desktop.

Thanks. Since I only keep shortcuts on my desktop, it was not difficult to just build a new desktop.
