Desktop links

Desktop icon links work but the links are blank following a computer reset. The reset retained files and folders but third party software was removed during the reset process. Any idea as to how I get the original icon designs back?

Most shortcuts should be restored if the apps are re-installed from scratch. You can also manually change icons by right-clicking over them and selecting properties.

Thanks for your response ‘Trancer’

 I have two WD NAS devices - MyCloudEX4 and MyCloudEX4100. Going to 

My Cloud OS3 End of Service | Western Digital and clicking ‘Get Started’ - ‘Find my
Device’, neither device are found. I have previously changed the devices
names and thought that might be why the procedure failed but going back
to the default name(s) made no difference.

 I can change the icons manually but only have a choice of a set of 

‘standard’ microsoft ones.

 The available Apps' seem to have changed. I have a vague memory of 

using something called ‘WD Desktop’ (or similar). I don’t know if
resetting the machines completely would make any difference but of
course, I don’t want to lose my data and settings.
