Windows 10: HDDs icons with big red X

All of my HDDs icons, except for the one with the system, have changed to this:





I searched and found that it could be related to OneDrive or Dropbox, but I never installed the latter, so my guess is the culprit might be the former.

Here in the forum I found a thread about the OneDrive case, and there the X in the icon is inside a small red circle, while in my case it's only the red X, which reminds me of network connection problems back in Windows 7 times.

However, since I only noticed it yesterday, I have to tell you that last week I installed two programs that have something to do with icons and HDDs: Stardock IconPackager 4 and Hard Disk Sentinel Standard 5.61.

When I saw the icons issue I uninstalled both, but TNA. Although Hard Disk Sentinel reported that the D: and E: drives have problems and the F: drive is OK, the latter also shows that red X.

And when browsing the Start menu I found that the Edge icon is now different:






Any ideas what is that issue and how to fix it? TIA.

My windows 10 apps shows Big red X

I have been getting this for the last month and I have searched the net but didn't find a fix.
this is my problem I lost all the correct icons to windows app form the store that comes with windows and I keep getting other icons instead or sometimes they are just seethrough.

I have tried to reset the apps but no luck there.
