Windows 10: Black box with white "x" for a majority of icons in Windows Cortana search.

This issue is only present with the windows cortana search area; desktop, file explorer and taskbar icons are perfectly fine. Programs with the icon error will still launch normally. I am unable to restore to a previous point in time as I have not set a point before the issue occurred, and have tried fixes provided in the following post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/white-x-over-black-box-instead-of-normal-icons-in/67c5bdf3-ed70-4ee2-a7ec-8becaea416af . However, these solutions did not work for me.

I have been having this weird icon problem lately So I recently updated from build 1709 or somewher around that to May 2019 update, this didn't affect that and it was like this all along starting a few weeks ago or so, Weird problem. PC have been doing some where stuff lately and no viruses. I updated because I thought it would not only fix it, but for other reasons unrelated to this post (wanted the featurs it had). This is the main weird problem that's been happening with my search, I scoured the internet but only found things like icon missing, nothing about white X's over this box that are replacing my icon, they only happen in search, no other shortcut. And for software only. May I have some guidance? I tried clearing icon cache db in localappdata, deleted temp a while ago, and the updates didn't affect this.

This is the closest thing I can find to someone else having a problem like this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...946a56b?auth=1 but that's it, no helpful answers and I Was the only one who had that problem too so I clicked that box on that page. Again, No viruses and anything, (scanned deeply with Malwarebytes premium, disks are healthy (multiple HDD's), good PC specs. so idk what's going on :/ any help would be appreciated *Smile

I also have gpedit.msc if i need that to fix anything. Thanks!
