Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop files, icons, folders do NOT appear on desktop,

Question

Ubuntu 22.04 Upgraded 20.04 installation. Desktop files, icons, folders do NOT appear on desktop, yet they are in the Desktop folder under Home directory. They will run if I open the Desktop folder and execute them with terminal.

So far everything I have read has not worked to reviel them on the Desktop. They never have shown on the upgraded system from day one.

Nothing appears in the lower right corner of the desktop? Which desktop are you running? Wayland or Xorg at login? Anything appearing will probably need the "Allow launching" selection from a right mouse click. — ubfan1, Oct 27 '23 at 00:18

I also have the same issue. In my case reinstalling the ubuntu desktop worked:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

After running this, restart the system:

sudo reboot
