    Incorrect icon when clicking Start button and typing Settings


    When I click the Start button and type "Settings" the Settings icon is incorrect (it shows the IrfanView icon, and doesn't prevent the program from opening). I've tried everything I can think of to fix this, including resetting my IconCache and various other Google research. I just logged into a secondary user account and the icon is correct. I definitely do *NOT* want to re-create my profile as it will require hours of work to correct a simple cosmetic issue. I'm praying there's a simple solution for this problem, I'm all ears if anyone can help! I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1803 OS Build 17134.1, but the problem has existed for over a year at this point. Lastly, I've embedded a screenshot showing I'm not crazy =):
