If I reset my pc will it fix the problem effectively?
how to fix apps icon keeps on deleting by itself and mouse spinning in blue circle and blinking by itself
hi good day! I would like to request for help regarding in my Acer Aspire Lite 15, Windows Version 25H2. I am experiencing some technical problem, for example whenever I click to open google chrome app icon, it keeps on disappearing by itself and then there's a tab that appears "could not find item", I tried to cancel it every time it appears in the screen. Also when I use Canva in making a presentation the contents keeps deleting by itself and the mouse keeps on blinking and there's a blue circle spinning. I have experiencing this issue 2 days ago. How can I fix my pc? Thank you for your assistance I hope I can resolve this problem.

Before resetting your laptop, can you confirm the following? The following questions help isolate the issue and avoid repeating troubleshooting steps or solutions.
- May I know what troubleshooting steps or solutions you have already tried?
- Did you have any updates to Windows, drivers, or applications, or any newly installed apps?
- When an icon disappears, does this only happen with Chrome, and does this only happen with desktop icons?
- You also mention that there is a "Could not find item" error message. Please provide a screenshot of this message.
- Regarding Canva, does this happen only on the Canva app, or does this happen when you're not using the app?
- Are you using an external mouse or a touchpad?
In the meantime, try restarting Windows Explorer if you haven't tried it.
Press Shift+Ctrl+Esc to open the Task Manager, then scroll down the list to Windows Processes. Find Windows Explorer, right-click on it, and hit Restart.Please let me know how it goes. I look forward to hearing from you, and I will be happy to help if you need any further assistance.
Stay Safe!
