Windows 10: An update gone awry

since an update last week--KB5039211 OS Builds 19044.4529 and 19045.4529--my document files disappeared from my PC. I can't copy files from OneDrive to my PC. I get error code 0x8007017C. The fix for this is to disable on-demand file access in Work Files. But Work Files is not installed on my computer.

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

Windows icons gone awry - how can I reset them?

Hello, I have been using my laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 330s 15IKB) for over a year when I started seeing some of the Windows 10 icons getting messed up. It started with the network icons when Microsoft changed them something seemed to go wrong with one of the updates (can't remember which one), and my machine started showing them like this:

This only happened on my main user. The second user I have on the laptop displays the icons correctly. After a while I found that the account user icon too has gone awry. Here is a shot of the users from the Start menu:

Note: The second one down has an unclear and different icon. (mind the dark mode) I got the same thing when opening the Settings app, the icon is shown as unclear (as if it's the wrong resolution) and doesn't look like the do. Soon after searching in the Settings app stopped working. I'm not sure if this is a separate issue, but with all of this together I decided to create a new user with Admin privileges, and everything worked fine. All the icons displayed correctly, and the searches worked fine, so I went to the task of moving all my data across to the new user, and started using that. Now though the issue seems to have come back. The network icons have become as shown above. The user icon hasn't changed. I have created a new user and they display correctly there, but I'm not willing to go through the whole transfer process. It took too long and too much effort the first time. Is there any way to reset these icons? I ran a system scan with sfc /scannow which returned no problems found.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
