The "This PC" icon disappeared, and I fixed it, by why did it happen?
The "This PC" icon on my desktop disappeared. I know how to fix it, and I did, but my question is why does that happen? I haven't done anything unusual lately. So I'm worried it's either the hard drive beginning to fail or a virus.
I have automatic updates turned off, so it's not a bug in a new patch.
What are some possible reasons that might happen?
(I'm a developer, so no problem to talk in arcane terms.)
