  1. App icon corrupted on Start Menu in search


    When I try to sarch some apps Whatsapp, Office suite, Sistem programs as Settings, Memo..., icons are corrupted. This happens only in start menu, but if I pin the apps on the task bar or when I open this app, icons show up.

    I've tried to restore icon cache, but nothing happened.

    Some weeks ago, I've used iObit app to free some space, maybe this cancelled some files responsable for icones.


    Thanks!

    :)

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.
