Windows 10: Explorer ribbon icons not showing up.

These icons don't show up but the buttons still work. Not sure how to fix this. :I tried deleting the icon cache but it didn't work either.

Explorer ribbon icons not showing up.

Hi TanishSamarawickrema, Thanks for getting back to me. I understand your frustration.

Could you please try to show the ribbon file explorer just in case it was accidentally hidden?

Solution 1: Show ribbon file explorer

Open File Explorer and on your keyboard press the CTRL+F1 keys to toggle to expand, show - default the Ribbon.

Or

On your search bar type folder options > View tab.

in Advanced Settings check "Always Show Menus" > OK

Solution 2: Always Show Ribbon in File Explorer

Right-click or press and hold on an empty area of the Ribbon tab bar > Click on Minimize the Ribbon to uncheck it.

Solution 3: Perform a Clean Boot

A "clean boot" starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. This is similar to starting Windows in Safe Mode but provides you more control over which services and programs run at startup to help you isolate the cause of a problem.

Thank you.

 

Changing Explorer Ribbon icons


You might have some luck with 'Customiser God'
CustomizerGod

Note it lists explorer ribbon icons.


However note you will lose these on each major upgrade build or if you do an in-place upgrade repair install, and possibly if you run sfc /scannow, so be prepared.

 

Ribbon missing in the task explorer, the libraries and also the text which appears on the title bar are also missing.
