Hello,

One of our pcs does not have a desktop tab in the display
control panel.

It's the same even when logged in as admin.

I've checked the Turn On Classic Shell setting in the
group policy editor and it isn't configured.

Does anyone know of any other way the desktop tab might
have been disabled?

Cheers.
