I had a heck of a time getting Windows 10 Creator to load on this
machine. The problem ultimately was that my Windows "system reserved
partition" was only 100MB and was full/too small. After I increased the
hidden partition size, Windows 10 Creator upgrade run successfully.
However, I don't think my upgrade problems are directly replaced to the
"disappearing icon" issue. I did see this problem consistently on
another machine which had the previous version of Windows 10 on it --
where I had to manually restart BOINC each time the machine started or
rebooted. I had done some research on the "startup" problem with
applications on Windows 10, so frankly I've assumed that the problem was
fixed in the latest release. However I've not upgraded the machine
where I had the problem (will not be back home until next week to try
it). Sorry I don't have more info, but the Windows 10 fails to startup
application problem was referenced I believe (see link) and the various
fixed suggested never worked for me..some apps started but some did not...

Not sure if this is related to the problem or a blind alley. When I get
back home, I will confirm this behavior on my other Windows 10 machine,
then do the Creator upgrade and see if the launch problem resolves
itself. I do not have this problem on this machine running Windows 10
Creator -- but then I don't think I ever saw that "launch" problem on
this machine either...
Sorry I can't be of more help....

This doesn't make sense to me. I had the problems with Windows 10
Creator’s update, and continue to have problems with Windows 10
Insider builds newer than that. My hunch is that Art has a scenario
that masks/hides the issue. I still show it as broken.

Thanks.
Jacob Klein, is this compatible with what you're seeing?
