  1. Windows search icons broken


    Hello community,


    I've got the exact problem that's described in this thread (click).


    Since yesterday, when I do a search all icons are broken. Instead I get what you can see on the picture: A white cross on black background. In the start menu all icons work just fine.
    I already did some searching and tried to fix it myself but found no success so far.


    What I tried:

    - delete icon cache

    - delete thumbnail cache

    - the method described in the thread that I linked above


    I use Windows 10 Pro 10.0.17763
