Do you remember at least one of the the filenames of the jpegs? (example: FileName.jpeg)
Do a search and see maybe the pictures got saved somewhere else other than on the Desktop.
Hello @frenchman96,
They have obviously been saved somewhere, it is just a case of tracking them down.
[1] I know this sounds silly, but did you refresh the desktop orRestart
?
[2] Have you got a relocated desktop?
You can try performing a search on your OS drive, and ANY other drives that you might have installed or attached usingExplorer
, or a third-party utility [ I can recommend one if needed ].
I hope this helps.
Have you pressed F5 to check it's not just Refresh issue?
- or right-click on a blank area of the Desktop & select Refresh

They are showing in File Explorer and when there, I can do " send to" and put it on desktop, but a bit long winded

Not at all, if I see or receive a photo, I like to save it to my desktop for future use, just like i have icons there so I c/o to open, I want the pic where I find it handy.
Basically the Desktop is not a safe place to put files, I always use Shortcuts(links) to a Folder/File/Program.
It's safer as the Shortcut just points to the Folder/File/Program so if deleted for any reason you do not lose your files.
That is what Send to > Desktop (create shortcut) does. The Shortcut > Properties > Shortcut tab gives you the Location and indeed a link to the "real" Folder/File/Program.
Long winded maybe, but it is a safer option.

If I go to start/file explorer/desktop/ it shows some jpegs I have saved to desktop but have not arrived on desktop.
