Desktop icons

[PontoZero23]

Hello! I enabled the function of adding icons to the desktop, but in Windows 10 it is not working and sometimes in Windows 11 either. I tried to redo the XML file but it still presented the error, is there anything to get around it? I tried adding via script also without success.

I had not tested this feature with Windows 10. It appears that the icons

• Computer / This PC
• Recycle bin
• User's Files
• Control Panel
• Network

are configurable via the autounattend.xml in Windows 10. These are the same icons that are also configurable via the Desktop Icon Settings dialog:

Additional icons

• Desktop
• Documents
• Downloads
• Gallery
• Home
• Music
• Pictures
• Videos

might not be configurable in Windows 10. For example, the Downloads desktop icon might depend on the registry value

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{374de290-123f-4565-9164-39c4925e467b}]
@="CLSID_ThisPCDownloadsRegFolder"

which is present in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11.
