Answer 1

if your css file is in the same folder as your Img folder, try

background-image: url('Img/icons.png');

apart from that, you will have to show us your file structure to understand where the error is. 99.99% you are simply referencing the image with the wrong url.

EDIT:

as per the location you’ve specified, it should be

background-image: url('../Img/icons.png');

this: .. means one level above the current location, then look for /Img/icons.png
