My 2tb hdd had 2 partitions, one system reserved and the other was the main new volume (but the drive is NOT my os disk). I merged them using a partition editor because I wanted to copy the partition, but after that, desktop icons began disappearing. After changing back the drive letter and name and moving some files around, everything came back to the desktop as before, but my icons won't show on my taskbar. If I have a window open, it will show up on there, but after closing it, it doesn't stay there, even if it's pinned. It's like pinned apps don't show anymore.
