  1. File Properties is missing "Icon change"


    I can not change file to icon as the option to do this is no longer there. The only options that are there is General and Previous Versions in the Header bar.

    Can you please give me a way so as to restore the properties folder so as to show normal page changing options. Such as "Change Icon".

    Thanking you...... Trev

    :)

    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?
     
  3. No desktop icons and no file properties available

    Anna,

    Clean boot resulted in no change.

    File properties are unavailable.

    Icons are missing from desktop, File Explorer, and taskbar but not from Start.
