About 50% of the time when I book up W10, almost all desktop icons are just white ... and PC shows as busy.
No matter how long I leave it does not recover.
If I use Ctl_Alt_Del and log off, then log back on it does build properly.

I have also carried out right-click Refresh on a correctly built desktop, but the fault still happening.

Any suggestions .... it's running Windows 10 ver 21H1

Is there a repair/rebuild option ?

Did you miss

When you press the Windows Key + X does it show Powershell or Command Prompt

If Powershel use the one that shows Admin and copy and paste the command again see if that does it.

Did the SFC state any errors on the screen?
 
I tried your command several; times in Popwershell Admin .... same error.
I usd this string instead" get-winevent -FilterHashTable @{logname="Application"; id="1001"}| ?{$_.providername -match "wininit"} | fl timecreated, message | out-file "$env:userprofile\Desktop\CHKDSKResults.txt""
This worked OK .... file is attached.
