    App icons are blank and properties doesn't open


    Hi, after turning my pc off and back on today, it booted up unusually fast and the icons of apps and files don't load.On my desktop, the only thing shown are the names of the apps and for the apps on the top of my screen, there's no space for any icon, as in the app name is at the very top.For the rest of the apps, there's only a blank space. If I go into file explorer, the file icons are also not there and are just blank.On my task bar, all icons are replaced with the icon for task manager. However if I go windows menu, the icons load fine. When I try to open properties of apps, nothing happe

    All icon images have disappeared, and can't open app properties


    I have tried step 1 and 2- they made no difference.
    Step 3- found corrupt files but unable to repair
    I did the restore health command and got this result:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth


    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.10586.0


    Image Version: 10.0.10586.0


    [==========================100.0%==========================]


    Error: 0x800f081f


    The source files could not be found.
    Use the "Source" option to specify the location of the files that are required to restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see Configure a Windows Repair Source.


    The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.log

    All icon images have disappeared, and can't open app properties


    All the app icons have disappeared from my desktop, as well as task bar and file Explorer. Where the icon should be is just a blank (but clickable) space.
    I tried to manually alter the app icon by right clicking and going into properties, but no properties will open!
    I've tried everything I know how, please help. *Sad

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?
