Windows 10: Microsoft Store app icon is missing in search result on start menu

If I scroll down the list of all installed apps on the start menu there is a Microsoft Store entry with the expected briefcase. But if I type "st" then it searches and I get the Microsoft Store entry at the top, as an app, and the icon is the missing image thing. The white sheet with a blue scene.Also just noticed the top two entries just after I click the start button are missing icons both this and the Meta Messenger app...though I uninstalled one copy Messenger copy that'd come from outside the store, and have another from the store still installed. Both apps store and messenger run

Missing icons for Trusted Microsoft Store Apps in Start Menu search and taskbar

Help!

The icons for my Trusted Microsoft Store apps are missing from my start menu when I search for them. They are also missing from my tasbar. I alo notice that icons are missing for files that are associated with these apps are missing.

Any idea on how to solve this?
<br/><br/>

When Using Search

Searching in the start menu won't show the icon for Trusted Microsoft Store apps. Other app icons are visible in the search.<br/>










<br/>In start menu

The icons for the store apps are visible in the menu when not searching:




<br/>Not visible in taskbar either

Here you can see that both the Slack and Store app icons aren't visible on the taskbar:<br/>




<br/>No file icons for associated apps

My images are associated with Windows Photos (also a Microsoft Trusted Store App). The aren't showing their icons.




<br/>What I've done so far

I've been searching Google and the MS fora for hours now. What I've tried so far:

• Running all Windows Updates
  
• Upgrading to Windows 10 Fall Creators Update
  
• Clearing the general icon cache by deleting C:\Users\[snip]\AppData\Local\IconCache.db
  
• Clearing Explorer icon cache by deleting C:\Users\[snip]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\IconCache*.db
  
• Re-reregistring all Windows store apps with PowerShell by running: Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  
• Running Disk Clean Up and choosing Clean Up System Files
  
• Running WSReset.exe
  

All to no avail. I hope you guys know a solution.

 

MS Store apps icons are missing in search results

I get the same issue as described here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-results/3a8ce022-1a91-4041-b953-becb0619932d

To reproduce it I

1. Open Start menu
2. Type an app name (UWP app only)
3. Look at the search results

Consistently, UWP apps have no icons in the search results while W32 or x64 apps do.

I have already attempted to :

- Flush icon cache (as described in the linked post above)

- Repair app store

- SFC /Scannow

- DISM /Repairhealth

- Restore/Reset individual apps

And none of them worked.

So Please, do not claim this question if you have not experienced this and fixed it yourself.

Thank you very much
