Windows 10: Icons Won't Change in "Applications and Functions"

As the title suggests, no matter what I do, whenever I change the default icon for any app/game on my computer, it just won't change, and instead becomes a white "blank" icon. What's even stranger is this happens only once for every several clean Windows installs I do - the other times this problem does not occur. Cleaning the icon cache, as well as rebuilding the icon cache do nothing. I have absolutely no clue as to what might be the cause. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Volume Mute Light won´t change color


Macrium is used frequently in this forum. There are experts in using it to recover drives. It's unclear as to why you are struggling to use it. I had not used it and just tried it for the first time and it went smoothly. Maybe these images might help?

 

Volume Mute Light won´t change color


Disaster! Now the computer boots up to a background picture with date and time & two small Icons (no network and battery)in the lower rh corner. Clicking enter slightly dims the screen and adds a new small Icon lrh. Doing nothing returns the screen back to the brighter date/time and two icon screen after a half minute or so. WTF!!! Also, even though the mute buttons turns blue/green for a part of the boot-up time, at boot end we are back to orange so no change there. I´m writing this on a non-reliable backup laptop so please help!!!! UPDATE: After waiting several hours I tried again and pressed enter and was able to boot up but Norton says my security protection is not functioning (so I don´t dare go online), so please help me to restore to usual functioning. I just noticed that the tiny speaker Icon, lower right-hand side shows no sound function. Clicking on it opens the trouble finder but no problem can be identified and no solution is offered for the problem. New Update: opened system config and rechecked as on all the boxes that were previously unchecked per your suggestion and the sound mute button functions properly, albeit without the proper color function (as before) and Norton says that security is functioning normally so it seems that things are back to normal but I don´t know how to check to see if this is the case. Waiting for a reply before doing anything else.
