Windows 10: Desktop icons not showing

Ix07,

Yes shortcuts do work but do not show Icons.

If I make another shortcut on desktop I have the same problem text but no icon.

I right click on them and select properties and nothing happens.

If I do a search in explorer icons seem to be OK.

I will see later on today if I can make a shortcut somewhere else (in Documents folder for example) and post results.

Thank you for all help.

 

Hi all,

Problem was with registry I checked values with other PC and altered them and now all works again.

Thank you for all help.

 

Could you please report "what" you fixed in the registry as I have the exact same problem an just posted a question of my own. If you have already solved this please share the information with others.

 

Go to www.windowscentral.com/how-get-rid-shortcut-arrows-windows-10

Do everything stated and all should be OK.

 

Thanks! If you check out the thread I started, I added my own solution to the problem which is more like a work-around as there is still a real problem to be resolved.
What is happening is that the correct location for the proper icons is not being maintained and the shortcut ends up with the default of "shell32.dll" which gives it the first icon in the list there, a blank white page.
