    Where's my beautiful desktop?


    Hi, hoping you can help :)
    My desktop is now just apps. I can't see my usual desktop with the files etc, is there a way to fix this? THANKS

    Do you have "Show Desktop Icons Disabled"?

    *right click your desktop and click on views to check*

    Hello Nyria, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    Double check to see if you may have turned on Tablet mode by mistake.
