I have seen this only once in Windows 7 Pro.

I used:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2635447/how-to-resolve-an-issue-where-all-windows-7-desktop-icons-have-become

This worked for us. The IconCache file gets corrupted and it created this 
problem.

Subject: [H] Odd Windows 7 issue

I've run into this a few times before - the computer boots to Windows but there 
are no icons (but the text heading for the icons appear).  The start menu 
doesn't.

I've always fixed this with a repair install/inplace upgrade but this time this 
hangs at "collecting files".

I believe it's related to damage in the Default User folder.

Any ideas how to fix it?

You checked the drive for damage?
