Hmmmm... Well you have click on the icon and, while holding down the mouse button, drrrrrag the icon to your desktop. As soon as you start to drag it, you should see "shadow copy" of the PS icon moving alongside your cursor. I'm doing it now and it's working for me just fine...

Okay, here's the official Microsoft response... Bit of a headscratcher if you ask me that you have to do it this way, but this is what they say:

Microsoft said:
To add shortcuts to the desktop

Press and hold or right-click the desktop, tap or click New, and then tap or click Shortcut.

Enter the location of the item or tap or click Browse to find the item in File Explorer.

What I did, was to right click on the app and click "add to taskbar"

And it will be there on the taskbar.

You can also use file manager to open the location of the executable file, then right click on it to create a desktop shortcut. Just another way to skin the cat. (Although, as a cat owner, I hope folks elect not to take the cat skinning literally. ) :D

It looks like the screen hasn't fully updated. If you wait a while it might refresh. PS does a lot of work in the background. Also check the Preferences - Performance tab to see if you have enabled it to use your graphics processor.

If you re open the image I guess its fine ?

The best solution:

:)

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

And, honestly, I just had to recover my internal hard drive from an automatic Apple update that went bad.

Just closing Photoshop down and this one was like this,it had already been saved and posted with no problem showning

I get this occasionally when I come out of a Nik tool - and on a Mac, FYI. ;) It's a display issue and not an actually issue with the image, but it's disconcerting nonetheless. I usually just zoom all the way in (Cmd/Ctrl-1) and then out again (Cmd/Ctrl-0) and it corrects itself, though with CS6 it sometimes would not. At that point I'd save, close the file, verify it appears correct in Lightroom, restart Photoshop and reopen. Ps is a memory hog and sometimes it crosses itself up and needs to be shut down so it frees up everything.
