[Solved] Desktop icon disappeared

Post by Jhearcht2 »

Windows 11 on PC

My Open Office icon has disappeared again. I suspect that MS is meddling with it. I can open the program from File Manager, and associated files, and the icon appears on the task bar. But haven't been able to place an icon on the desktop for quick selection.

Is there a "Place Icon" tool in the app?

Any help will be appreciated.
