I'm using Windows 8 and have managed to lose the Desktop tile.

How do I put it back?

Best Answer

  1. From the Start screen Win+D will take you to Desktop.

  2. To get its tile back on Start you can do the following:

    1. Whilst on the Start screen type Desktop. The screen will change and two items will appear.

    2. Right click on Desktop, do not click on Remote Desktop; at the bottom of the screen, a bar appears where you can select Pin to Start, thus putting its tile (back) on the Start Screen.
