    After Reset + app reinstall, icons are blank/white/dummy ones when searching for apps


    Hi,


    I've had to do a "Reset my PC" operation 'cos something had gotten badly corrupted on the system.


    After that, I expectedly have to reinstall the apps.


    So far, so good. The apps work as expected.


    But when I search for an app using "Windows key, type part of app name", I get "dummy" icons instead of the app's icon.


    If I navigate the Start Menu, I do get the correct app icons.


    How do I fix this?


    Will rebuilding the Windows Search index suffice?


    TIA for your help.

    :)

    Cortana search does not show icons for metro apps

    Hi there, I have a similar imperfection which showed up upgrading to creators pack 2. When I search for Window store apps, (i.e. Mail, Calculator, Feedback, Edge) with Cortana, I always get blank icons. The app icons appear if I dock them to start or to task bar and they all work. It's only the icon that is missing when I search.

    I have tried rebuilding search index, reinstalling whatever apps I can actually reinstall (like mail) and what was suggested above, but it does not fix it. Any ideas?

    I have reported it to Microsoft via feedback app, but wondering if anyone else has been able to manually fix it.
