Win 7 pro. From time to time I fly (disappear) shortcuts from the desktop, the folders to which the shortcuts refer are located on the file server. I don't understand what is the problem...

The Task Scheduler has tasks (or this one) that cleans the desktop from unused or inaccessible shortcuts, tasks run scripts (I don’t remember lying somewhere in the Windows system folders):

And who placed them on the desktop? maybe a GPO? in such a case, perhaps sometimes the GPOs are not distributed.

You need to disable "desktop cleaning", or as Win7 called it "computer maintenance". When you log in, Windows checks the paths of shortcuts and other "malfunctions" and first of all removes shortcuts from the desktop, IMHO this is all maintenance and ends.
Artem gave a link how to do it.
