Icons

We appreciate your reply. Since system restore did not help in getting the icons to display, we suggest that you rebuild the icon cache in the Command Prompt. To do this task, kindly follow the steps below:

• Close and save anything that you are working on before proceeding. The next steps will involve closing file explorer and restarting the PC.
• Open a command prompt (admin).
• Copy and paste each command below one at a time into the command prompt, and press Enter after each command.
  
  ie4uinit.exe -show
  
  taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
  
  DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db"
  
  DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*"
  
  shutdown /r /f /t 00
• The last command will instantly restart your PC.

Let us know if you will need further assistance.

Start Menu Folder Icons are being weird.

We appreciate the screenshot you included. Rebuilding icon cache may help us resolve the issue. Follow the steps below:

• Open Command Prompt.
  
• Copy and paste each command below one at a time into the command prompt, and press
  Enter after each command.
  
  • ie4uinit.exe -show
    
  • taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F
    
  • DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db"
    
  • DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*"
    
  • shutdown /r /f /t 00
    

Note: Performing the steps above will involve killing explorer and restarting the PC. We suggest saving anything that you're working on before proceeding.

Keep us in the loop with the result.
