My desktop shortcut collection finally crashed my laptop last Tuesday in Denver

I had 847 shortcuts on my desktop. Files, folders, random downloads, all of it. Tuesday morning I went to open Chrome and the whole thing froze for 15 minutes. Then a blue screen. Lost an hour of work because I refused to save anything anywhere but the desktop. My buddy laughed and asked how many I had so I counted while it booted back up. 847. Literally a number I thought was a joke. I deleted every single one and now my desktop is blank and it feels weird. Has anyone else had their hoarding actually break their machine like that?

Keeping just a folder called Desktop Junk saves me from that exact mess.
