Because your PC doesn't care about Flowers and Candy!

Windows 10 & 11 uses Desktop shortcuts or icons. If you don't use Desktop icons, you can disable them easily and enjoy a clean desktop.

We should note that when you hide the Desktop icons, you don't delete them; they are still there, just hidden.

Right-click on your Desktop.

Click on View to expand those options.

Click on Show desktop icons.



A small checkmark is next to Show desktop icons when disabled and missing when they are disabled.
