Desktop icons not showing

[BONKerV2]

My desktop icons are not showing,but are working just fine. They are all invisible and I've checked a lot of methods, and I know for a fact they exist and no files were deleted. I'm running windows 8.1 but not the update, so i have no idea what cause the problem. I also tried putting in new shortcuts but they were also invisible.I'm running out of options here and would like you guys' help.
