Worked for me, thanks. Didn't have to uncheck box first, just checked it and Apply.

If you've tried this and it didn't work then right click desktop, then view then show desktop icons. Then they appear.

In Windows 10 its a OPINION to Hide or Show the Recycle Bin. Go to the Notification Box next to time and date Click on it, Then go to the Table Mode Click on it, then Go to Windows Logo far left. Click on it and it should show the Recycle Bin and Cortana Message Box I hope this help you! Like me I'am new at windows 10, and to not have a Recycle Bin is Scary, it mean it corrupted or a virus on your computer eating your files and tools away

If these steps doesn't work then follow below steps...
1. At This PC, go to VIEW then click on OPTIONS
2. Now again click on VIEW
3. Then find "Show Hidden files, folders, drives" and then click on it
then find "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" and uncheck it
4. After that go to C Drive (Windows drive), there you will find "$Recycle.Bin" folder, double click to open the folder
5. Now finally you will find here "Recycle Bin"
6. Right click on it then go to Send and create Desktop Shortcut
and in the last you can also watch our video on this topic

This does not work for me. Even if I uncheck, hit apply then recheck and hit apply and save.

Didn't work. Hate Win10. Too much of a hassle, games don't work, can't find stuff, etc. step back, not forward.

If it doesnt work, uncheck it then check it again then click OK and it should be there

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

'Ask Cortana'. Or rather don't bother; According to Cortana, recycle bin doesn't exist. Oh how I miss Windows 98.

Another reason why Win10 is a piece of shit OS. There is practically no improvement over Win7.
