Hard for an old dog to learn a new program. So many improvements just seem like repackaging, and forcing us to upgrade. Guess im not alone, Bill

I understand you've gone back to Windows 7, and that's fine. Use what you're comfortable with. I just wanted to point out a few things that might help someone else confronted with the same issues you raised.
Regarding the missing tray icons, they're not missing. Rather they are all grouped together in a menu that you can popup by clicking the caret symbol (It looks like this: ^) to the right hand side of your taskbar. When you click that, a small window pops up and shows you all the tray icons. If you want them always displayed rather than tucked away like this, there's a setting for that. To get to it, click the start menu button and type "Settings" (or press the Windows Key and I at the same time). Then click "System", then "Notifications and Actions" and finally "Select which icons appear on the taskbar". Change the "Always show all icons in the notification area" setting from Off to On. That will restore all the tray icons.
Regarding the favorites issue, see the article here
Find missing favorites in File Explorer - Windows Help -.
I'm not sure what the problem with your "desktop homepage" icons might be, I think I'd have had to see it in person, but since you've reverted to Windows 7 its a moot point.
I hope this helps someone.
