Windows 10: Icons not properly showing and weird keyboard shortcut

Hey,

So lately I've noticed that my settings icon and a few other icons when I search them up in the search bar is just a white page with a mountain on it. Also, for some reason, my alt key started opening the calculator when I hadn't even set a shortcut for it. I use a Razer Synosa Chroma keyboard and I run windows 10 latest version as an OS. I've tried resetting the keyboard, but nothing has worked. Help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Desktop Shortcut Icons

Hi Mik-Dav,

The desktop shortcut created for a specific website should bear the website's actual logo. With what you've experienced, there could be something wrong with how the shortcut was created.

If you've created the shortcut by selecting Create shortcut, then we suggest that you try the other way, that is by dragging the website icon that appears in the address bar to your desktop. Follow these steps:

• Using Internet Explorer, access a website.
• Once the website opens, you will see its icon in the address bar.
• Click and drag the icon on your desktop.

The website shortcut bearing its actual logo should now be saved on your desktop.

Let us know if you need further help.

Regards.
