Icons not displaying

A while ago the icons for certain types of images began to not display in detail, list, or small icons view. Instead they simply display as a weird folder with 4 squares in the upper right corner, seen to the right >


This isn't exactly a terrible issue, but it is quite ugly compared to what it should be. I have tried rebuilding the icon cache manually, and that did not help.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Are you aware of any changes being made to the PC?
   
2. Which version of Windows 10 you are using currently?
   
3. Are you using a HDMI cable or a VGA cable to connect the display?
   
4. How are you re-arranging the icons?
   
5. Have you tried connecting the display first and then switching on the PC?
   

I suggest you to try the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.

Icons from apps aren´t displayed correctly

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query at Microsoft community.

Do the apps work fine apart form the icons not displaying correctly? If so I would suggest you to run an SFC scan and check if it helps. If the issue persists you may run DISM command and check.

Follow this steps:

• • 
    Press Windows+X.
    
  • 
    Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    
  • 
    Type the command SFC /SCANNOW and
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit
    Enter.
    

Hope the information provided was helpful and do let us know if you need any assistance in the future. We will be glad to help.
