Desktop Icons Disappear
When I click on a blank area of my desktop, all of my icons disappear. If I click on the task bar, they return but if I try to launch a program, they all disappear and the program doesn't launch.

Haven't tried it in safe mode yet

I’ll give it a try once I figure out how to enter safe mode...
Thanks Ztruker
I tried it in safe mode and the problem did not repeat. When I shut down and now powered up, the problem did not come back. It has been eratic…..
If the problem comes back perform a clean boot state.

The clean boot state allows you to disable startup third-party programs and services its not risky.
Thanks to Ztrucker and Freebooter!
I went into the Clean Boot process, hid the MS programs and the disable all others. I then enabled all and backed out without going through the complete process. The problem went away and has not returned.
Thanks again!
