  1. All Icons/Thumbnails gone, can't find any solution. Please help.


    I just booted my pc this morning and suddenly all my icons/thumbnails where gone.



    Also, when I right-click any folder or executable and click properties, it doesn't open the properties.

    I can't find any solution on the internet on how to fix it, I even tried resetting my pc (while keeping personal files) but I kept getting a message that something went wrong so I can't do a reset. Reinstalling from a flash drive also didn't work.

    The day before everything was fine and all I did was play some games, and shut down my pc when I went to bed.



    I would really appreciate if someone could help me out here (without losing my personal files). Thank you.

  2. Previews for images (thumbnails) are gone in explorer.


    All of a my preview for my images are gone...

    I went to Google and looked up some possible solutions.

    In explorer under view/options under View "Always show icons never thumbnails" is unchecked.
    I also tried to choose "Restore Defaults" from there as well with no luck. Yes, I closed and re-opened
    explorer after the change.

    I under went under Control Panel/System/Advanced/System Properties/Performance and
    made sure "Save Taskbar Thumbnail Previews" was checked as well as "Show thumbnails instead of icons"
    was also checked.

    Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

    Any help appreciated. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

  3. All icons and thumbnails are gone

    Good day everyone.

    Today my machine failed to start wampserver so I had to reboot.

    Once windows started, desktop and taskbar icons were gone. Here's a screenshot:

    You can also notice that explorer icons are all gone too including thumbnails.

    I tried many solutions online including removing iconCache*.db files and thumbnailCache files, upon restart they were rebuilt but the problem wasn't gone.

    I would like to hear any suggestions on how I can fix this without reinstalling the OS.

    Maybe it's worth to mention that before that reboot I had connected to an external screen (I'm using a laptop) and that usually alters the position of my icons on the desktop since the screen is fairly big.

    Thank you for your help.
