Desktop Files

Using Windows 10 (unfortunately) my desktop files have suddenly transferred from my laptop screen to my secondary screen.

How do I put them back?

Drag them over?

(I sometimes get this if I start up the secondary monitor while Windows is booting up. Now I either have the monitor already on, or I wait until Windows is booted up and logged in before starting it).

Thank you but how do I move them all at the same time - or do they have to be done individually?

There a lot of them.

Draw a big box round them to highlight them all ?
Hold the CTRL key and click them all to highlight them ?
Press CTRL and A (select all) ?

You could use the mouse to drag a box around all the icons to select them all.
Otherwise, you could select the top icon, hold shift then select the bottom one, this will select everything in between them
