I wonder if this is some other app that is on your PC. I'd take inventory of what's on your PC and remove any cleaner or PC speed up apps along with registry cleaners.
I apologize if this has been covered before but I can't find search for this forum.
About every two weeks the icons disappear from the desktop just leaving the titles. This pc also just has titles. If I right click and choose properties nothing happens.
I've tried all the suggestions found on Google with no results. The only thing that works is restoring the C drive with a Shadowprotect backup.
Any suggestions as how to prevent this?
