  1. Icons are missing


    So... I got a problem, my icons are missing. Normally I can fix this, but this is different. There are ZERO icons, not even white boxes. Not on my Desktop, Start Menu, Taskbar, or in any apps. I've tried everything on resetting the icon cache, but with no luck with 3rd party software or through CMD. Even with Admin it still just says I don't have permission. I've even tried to reset it through a live boot of Ubuntu. And yes, before you ask, I did make sure my drive letter was in fact C:\ it is It also thinks it's installed on WTG Windows to go but it's not, it's on an internal drive.


    If anyone knows how to fix this help would be much appreciated. But tbh I'm almost sure it's not the icon cache but something else because it only happened after I fixed another problem. but after reversing what I did it's still the same. Please help, I need to get this thing fixed soon because it is the only thing I got other than my phone and I really don't want to do a clean install.

    App Icons Missing

    Hi Donna,

    Corrupted applications are the possible causes why your program icons are missing after an update. To isolate your issue, we'd like to clarify a few things:

    • When you hover your mouse over your taskbar or Start menu, are you seeing the icons for your apps?
    • Have you tried searching for a specific app and check if it will appear on the search results?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you repair and reset your applications using the steps shared by Meliton Dec on this

    thread
    about restoring missing apps.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
