Windows 10: After tonight's updates lost Store and Edge's icons

Hi there *Smile

After tonight's updates, this morning I've seen that Store and Edge's icons are white square.







When last night I turned off the PC I noticed there was an update and this morning a page of Edge, What's new (get started), opened and the icon on the taskbar was a white square. Then searching for an app in the store I saw that the icon was the same: a white square. (see the screenshots)

I did a "sfc / verifyonly"

What can I do now to restore that icons?

Thanks for any help *Smile

Start button not working - Windows 10

I didn't lost the taskbar, and I didn't lost the icons, but I lost an icon out of all the shortcut icons in the taskbar.

If you have a default taskbar, you would have the Edge and Store icons immediately next to the start button in your taskbar. I add a few more shortcuts. They are all there except Edge, leaving an empty space where Edge supposed to be.

 

How do I prevent Edge from making itself the default program for opening PDF's?

Been on Windows 10 for a few months, Edge has been a pain (pdf's not opening, my ISP logon page doesn't support Edge, and others). But I've been giving it what I consider a Fair Go. However, I just "updated" Windows 10 tonight, and all my emails in MS-Outlook,
that had .pdf attachments, now use Edge to open them, and Edge can't. Edge gives a bogus error message to update Adobe, but updating Adobe does nothing, it is Edge's fault. Lost more time tonight, trying to fix a problem Edge (and updating Windows 10) causes.

So tonight was the icing on the cake, enough is enough, good bye Edge, may you Rest in Peace.

I'm going to Chrome (IE Explorer which I used for years, is just too slow on Windows 10, and I don't have a slow computer)

 

Hello Lio, *Smile

You might see if rebuilding the icon cache may be able to help with this as well.

All you have to do is unpin from taskbar, then start menu -> All Apps and then select the app and pin to taskbar for each one.

 

Thanks Shawn, before trying this I have a question...

If I rebuild my icon cache, will I lose my icon customizations ?

 

Thanks Almighty1

I did it but no change. I still have white square *Sad

 

No, they'll be fine. It will only clear the icon cache and force them to reload to update the cache.

 

Hmm, I had that problem before when my tiledatalayer database file wasn't working.... but currently, I have the icons except both the calculator and store icon looks weird...

 

It's me again....
I did all: removed icon cache, SFC, etc: nothing change.
I don't know... but I never had so many problem with Win 7 and 8 :'(

 

I just fixed my icons this way:

open Windows PowerShell in Administrator mode by typing Powershell in search then run the following:
Code: Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_2015.10.5.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode[/quote] Code: Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode[/quote] You may have to do the pin/unpin task bar if it doesn't update immediately.

I did all but useless...
In the start menu the icons are ok, but in the taskbar are still white square. And (if my memory is ok) the same Edge icon in start menu is different from before. The first one was like 3D, this one is like a normal IE icon with an "E" in blue on a qhite square completely flat.

 

Weird, don't know what else to tell you to try... did you try removing the icon first from the taskbar now and then try to run the program, does the icon look correct?
