No Recycle Bin on Desktop

As you may know, I provide education and tech support for the folks at Rock Crusher in Florida in the Winter.  I had a problem I hadn't seen before and a solution I hadn't seen before.
Sandy had a bunch of problems with her computer that we resolved very quickly and then she brought up the since she upgraded to Windows 10 in the summer she wasn't able to find her Recycle Bin it was no longer on the desktop.

I went into Setting - Personalization - Themes - Desktop Items Settings.  Sure enough Recycle Bin had been selected.  Hummm!  I went to File Explorer and selected Desktop.  There were program Icons showing there that also were not on the desktop.  I had not idea why that would happen.

Today, I was playing with Desktop Background settings and I found a very simple solution but until now I had no idea this existed.

Solution:  Right click on Destop - click on View and look what's on that menu.
"Show Desktop Icons."  Problem solved!
