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?

 

My Icons keep going white it's really annoying does anyone know a fix






Are all those store apps?
If so, are those displaying the correct icons in the start menu?
What about the icons of non-store software?

 

Making the taskbar Edge icon white

Basically, there are 13 blue .png's with replica white ones to their immediate right.
You need to remove the blue ones and rename the replica white ones with the blue ones names...
