    Icons and thumbnails blank + right click -> Properties doesn't work


    Today I installed the latest updates:


    Icons and thumbnails blank + right click -> Properties doesn't work [​IMG]


    and it seems that those updates messed up Windows Explorer. After I restarted my PC, all icons and thumbnails in Windows Explorer disappeared i.e. I've got blank icons within Windows Explorer and those "app icons" in the taskbar.

    The icons in the Start Menu and in the System Tray are fine:

    Also, when I right click on any file/folder and click "Properties", nothing happens i.e. I don't get the Properties window.


    I tried sfc and dism (normal boot, safe boot (Alternate shell, No GUI), also with image downloaded via Media Creation Tool -> How to use DISM command tool to repair Windows 10 image | Windows Central). They both found corrupt files but couldn't fix them. Logs:

    I also tried this:

    and I also looked at the following locations within my registry (
    Windows 7 Help Forums
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows]

    but everything seems fine i.e. nothing is missing.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.


    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Thumbnails, desktop icons, taskbar icons gone, Properties doesnt work


    All of a sudden the following symptoms (all at the same time)::
    1. Taskbar icons gone (replaced by a neutral identical icon) except Edge and Store
    2. In File Explorer, no longer thumbnails, no icons either, simply blank, but names show
    3. All desktop icons gone; but their names still show and they "work"
    4. When I rightclick to "Properties" (on desktop icons, or File Explorer items) nothing happens
    5. Control Panel no longer shows icons, names only
    Seems rather dramatic.... Anybody any idea?
