This worked for me!
My desktop icons disappeared today on my Windows 10. To get them back, I did the following:
1. Right-click on an open area of the desktop
2. Click View
3. On mine, Show Desktop icons was already checked even though they were not appearing. Uncheck Show Desktop icons
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2, and Check Show Desktop icons to put them back on.
In other words, if you toggle the desktop icons off and then on again, it worked for me.
