This simply means that Windows 10 senses how you’re using your device and behaves accordingly. This property that allows Windows 10 to run on all devices, whether it be a desktop computer, a laptop or a tablet or mobile device is called Continuum. I say evidently, because on tablets you don’t rely on the traditional Windows desktop but rather use the tiles in the start menu to launch apps.
There’s another reason why your desktop icons can sometimes disappear in windows 10, Which has little to do with anything else but (evidently) the fact that Windows 10 comes with a feature that allows it to run on desktop computers as well as on tablets. I’ve seen some cases where this setting mysteriously changes in Windows 10, but now you know: Windows 10 desktop icons missing? => Check the “show desktop icons” setting on your desktop.
