That's happened to me, I think when I was closing processes in task manager. The obvious thing to attempt would be to reboot your computer. I'd be surprised if that didn't work. If it doesn't I suppose you have to recreate all the shortcuts.

this happened to me. theres to solutions

1. Right click on desktop/view/show desktop items try this twice if it doesnt work the first time.

2. If you have a laptop, having it on power saving settings can cause the desktop items to be hidden (for some reason) just change your settings to Entertainment Mode or something
