Display system icon in Desktop screen

In previous Windows versions, system icons such as This PC, Network, My Documents , etc. were displayed on the desktop. However, in recent versions of Windows, Microsoft has hidden most of these icons. And on Windows 10, only the Recycle Bin icon is left on the desktop.

In addition, the Start Menu also has no links to open the specified icons. And if you still want to bring them back to the Windows 10 desktop, refer to the following method.

Go to Settings > Personalization -> Themes .

In the Themes settings interface, click the Desktop icons settings option to call the icon that appears.

Please check the system icons that you appear on the desktop and click Apply > Ok to save.

Then close all windows and return to the desktop to check the results.
