Windows 10: Can someone help me change these stubborn icons in my taskbar?

I just got a new Alienware Area51 M2 Laptop and it is incredible. I am trying to customize the look of my windows desktop. I haven't owned a computer in a few years and I am new to windows 10. I figured out how to change a few of the icons I wanted but the Mail App...File Explorer...and Spotify...I cant figure out. I have tried to search google and for some reason I cannot find a solution for any of these. Can anyone help me? thank you so much...

System Icons on taskbar

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Are you referring to the clock system icon on the taskbar?

If so, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

• 
  Click on the search bar on the taskbar.
  
• 
  Type system icons.
  
• 
  Under Turn System Icons ON or OFF, turn On the Clock and check with the issue.
  

Hope it helps.

 

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?
