Help with Windows (computer not glass ones)
 
For some reason my usual desktop has disappeared?

It used to sit there nicely with the icons on it I wanted.

Also Thunderbird will only fun on full screen.

There is probably more that I have yet to find out.

I had to install a big security patch today, but my Win7
32 bit PC seems ok.

Did you install any of the latest Updates that appeared
today ?.

Hold down Ctrl & Alt then strike Del.
Is there more than one user account visible?
If so try logging into them to see if one has your desktop.

Which version of Windows?

But if Windows 10 check if you are in Tablet Mode and if so get out of
it. That's Settings System Tablet Mode top box

Another is to restart Windows Explorer: Ctrl+Shift+Esc for Task Manager,
right click Windows Explorer and Restart

I did one a couple of days ago and never really used the computer since.

Ta very much.

After I spotted the NEW keyboard icon at the bottom I realised you were
correct.

Sorted.

You need to say which version of Win before anyone can say much useful.
