Hi. I have just updated to 11.5 and all desktop icons have disappeared, leaving only the MacHD icon. My Desktop folder was empty! I tried rebooting a couple of times to no avail. Finally, I restored my Desktop folder from the last Time Capsule backup prior to the update. It is still downloading so I don’t know if it will be successful. Then I must check my Documents folder. What is going on here, Apple? An update shouldn’t potentially trash a user’s machine: this is really poor work by your update department. i just hope restoring from Time Capsule any files lost will sort the problem.
