@Aravisian Thanks for help but It gives zorin-desktop-session and dpkg error.
I have tried all possible solution mentioned in forum but it cant work . sorry for replying late.
It also gives "update-alternatives: error: alternative path /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/zorin.css doesn't exist"

[Aravisian]

Please run

sudo apt --fix-broken install

It shows that you tried installing the Core desktop.

still problem is not solved

[Aravisian]

You are on Lite, correct?
Again, the terminal is refering to the Core Desktop, not the Lite Desktop. Can you please confirm?

I do not want to give you a terminal command that removes your preferred desktop and leaves you unable to log in on your computer.

thanks for help all icons are back but in different style

[Aravisian]

Launch the Appearance app from the app menu and switch to the Icons tab. Here, you can select you preferred icon theme or use the Zorin OS default

• Zorin-(color)-dark
  Or
• Zorin-(color)-light
