My laptop starts but my icons are missing on the screen

Nice to meet you, *****!
Have you checked the recycle bin on your desktop?

Are just some icons missing, or all icons are missing?

Right-click on an empty portion on your desktop. Hover on "View", then make sure the "Show desktop icons" option is checked.
