windows 11's vanishing icon crisis

the mysterious case of the vanishing mouse cursor icons in windows 11

wait, where’d all the icons go???

so i’m chillin’ in windows 11, right. cruising through my files, dodging popups (the true enemy), when suddenly BAM. no icons. none. like i’ve been pranked by the tech gremlins. at first i’m like mood, maybe it’s a style thing. but no, my desktop’s blank as a whose line is it anyway set.

cooked up some troubleshooting tips because ofc i did - tweak display settings, maybe? flick the resolution around like you’re trying to change a flat tire. but guess what - nothing worked. screen just kept EMPTY.

so now we’re here, in this crispy digital disaster, where windows 11 plays hide and seek with the icons. and honestly, at this point, all i can do is sigh and consider the holy restart. it’s either that or living in this icon-less purgatory forever.

but hey. if you’re out here suffering the same fate, remember - sometimes you just gotta hard reset and pray. that’s the only way to beat the ghosting of tech.
