Windows 10: apps icon all white

All my application in the start menu sometimes shows white folder and it aint responding at all. Sometimes I can resolve it by restarting the PC and it works for some apps but when I open 2 or 3 application it will bring back the issue. How to stop this kind of weird issue in my Windows 10?

Making the taskbar Edge icon white

Wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video tutorial. A lot of steps to change the icon color but worth it to me.

If I heard you correctly, this will reset every time Edge updates?

For this issue, it is possible that the drop shadow of the desktop icon labels is enabled. We suggest that you follow these steps to disable this feature:

• Right-click This PC in File Explorer, and choose
  Properties.
• Choose Advanced system settings.
• Click Settings in Performance.
• In Visual Effects settings, deselect Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop, and then tap
  OK.

About the issue with the Start menu, we suggest that you run the
Start menu troubleshooter. After you've completed the troubleshooter, restart your device and check if the issue persists.

Cannot change desktop icon

Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
