Windows 10: Corrupted Windows Apps Icons

Hi,


I recently noticed that all the Windows apps I have, mainly the ones coming from Windows Store, have corrupted icons.

This problem occurs only when I use search system, though. Outside of that, everything is fine.

Also, as you can see from the screen, I have the same problem with "Settings".








So far I tried to:


- use Troubleshooting. Didn't fix the problem

- use a software to clean the registry. Didn't fix the problem
- rebuild the icon cache, clearing %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer. Didn't fix the problem
- uninstall and reinstall, repair and reset an app let's say Microsoft News. Didn't fix the problem

- run a full disk clean-up. Didn't fix the problem

Any idea?
Thanks!

:)

 

corrupted icons

Hi,

If you choose to reset your PC, then yes, as performing a reset will remove any apps or programs that you have installed before. However, we suggest holding off the reset as of yet. We suggest that you
Run the troubleshooter for Windows Apps to help us further isolate this problem.

By the way, we'd like to verify the following information:

• Are the corrupted icons appear only in the start menu?
• Are the apps still working although the icons appear as corrupted?

Also, please run a full PC scan using Windows Defender. Please see the links below:

• Help protect my computer with Windows Defender
• Help protect my PC with Windows Defender Offline

Let us know the result so we can further assist you.

Regards.

 

UWP app icons in Windows 10 build 14316 are corrupt

As you can see, the Win32 app icons are completely fine, but all of the UWP app icons are corrupted. They almost appear as if they're running in some sort of safe mode.

Any suggestions?
