Windows 10: Blank Icons Windows 10

Hi,


I am having a problem in Windows 10 version 1709 build 16299.904. Somehow a few days ago some icons went blank especially Microsoft product icons, like Word, Excel, Outlook and some other application icons but not all of them.


I did several icon cache rebuild like the one in the following link:


https://www.howtogeek.com/232779/how-to-rebuild-a-broken-icon-cache-in-windows-10/


Although I can see the icon cache files are being regenerated by explorer process, once I restart my laptop, the remain the same: blank or unknown icon.


I created a new user and the icons remains blank for the same apps once I login with that user.


Not sure if has something to be with corrupt files or a bad Ms office update.


Could you please help me to solve it?

:)

Icons blank


Hello,

This started happening after about 10 months of using Windows 10. When I click on the start menu, some icons populate and some are blank. If I hover over them, I get a dialog box of what each icon is for.

Any suggestions on how to stop this?

Thank you
