    UWP apps icon disappearing when searching


    Hello, I had a problem with my search icons for UWP apps, and now I finally found a way to resolve it!You would know I had this problem a long time ago, but I needed to create a new user account, and I didn't want to. Here is the post.To resolve it, you must follow these simple steps:1. Open run by pressing the Windows Key + R2. Type %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\AppIconCache3. An explorer window will pop-out, find 100 and rename it to something else, like 100.bak.4. Eventually, restart your computer and they should work!PS: don't try this very often

    :)

  2. Some Windows 10 UWP icons not displaying on search, or in settings

    Some, but not all, icons for UWP apps are not displaying in search or settings. They do, however, display on the start menu when not searching. Icons for all non UWP apps display correctly, every time. UWP app icons are always present on the taskbar.

    UPDATE: Many locally stored image thumbnails fail to appear in start menu search results either, no matter what image format.

    The reason I have posted this as a separate question from this thread, is for the following differentiating reasons:

    • Not all UWP app icons fail to display
    • The issue is specifically present on the start menu only during search
    • UWP apps never fail to display their icons on the taskbar

    I have tried:

    • Resetting the icon cache
    • The solution here involving the windowsapps folder
    • Creating a new user account
    • Deleting iconstream registry keys
    • Changing performance settings to save thumbnails
    • Changing default app for PNGs
    • Changing default app for all images in windows settings
    • Changing windows explorer view settings
    • Updating graphics drivers

    UWP app icons in Windows 10 build 14316 are corrupt


    Pic: Screenshot - e3291153f0df01ad3d2174770a3e7379 - Gyazo

    As you can see, the Win32 app icons are completely fine, but all of the UWP app icons are corrupted. They almost appear as if they're running in some sort of safe mode.

    Any suggestions?
