I finally have Windows 11 on my computer, better late than never. But since I installed Windows 11 from scratch, there was no ‘This PC’ icon on desktop right after getting the update. I couldn’t understand why it always has to be ‘This PC icon missing‘ in Windows 11 or Windows 10 from every update. This situation is similar to when I first installed Windows 10 and couldn’t find This PC on desktop. However, shortly, I figured out how to get back This PC on desktop. I’m sharing these steps with you so that you don’t have to be frustrated about it. Here’s how you can get This PC, Recycle Bin, Control Panel, and other icons back on desktop in Windows 11 and Windows 10.

  • Click on “Themes” and navigate to “Desktop icon settings”
  • Click on “Desktop Icon Settings”
  • Select “Desktop icons” of your choice in “Desktop Icon Settings”
  • Click on “Apply” and then “Ok”
  • This PC along with other selected icons should now appear on your desktop
