Right click the desktop, hold the cursor on the VIEW option an uncheck "show desktop icons" then to the samething again and re-check the "show desktop icons" option, as far as what causes it i dont know but this seems to work
Did you try right clicking on your desktop and choosing "arrange icons with" and then choosing "show desktop icons"

Aside from manually deleting the shortcuts and icons on your desktop (the Recycle Bin cannot be deleted): you can right-click the background, find "Arrange Icons By" and press "Show Desktop Icons". This'll hide all the existing icons, so if you press "Show Desktop Icons again, they'll all return.
If there is no space on the desktop for icons, the icons will run off the screen. Thus the icons will not be displayed. If you use up the space, you could delete icons you don't use, resize the icons, increase the screen resolution, or create a folder on the desktop to move your less commonly used icons to.
in my opinion the icons are stored on the desktop
your screen refreshes when you close a program causing your desktop icons to flicker
Right click on an empty space on the desktop, go to "View" & click on "Small Icons"
