Windows 10: Microsoft Store apps' icons don't show up on Search

I am currently facing an issue with windows 10 version 21H1 due to which apps installed via Microsoft Store have their icons replaced by a generic image instead of their unique icons. Apps which I have installed from websites are completely fine. I have tried:Manually deleting iconcache.db file.Rebuilding the cache via command prompt.Rebooting the device multiple times.Creating another user account.Running sfc /scannow.Running DISM commands.Doing a reinstall would be a big hassle, so outside of that, any more suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you :

Cortana search does not show icons for metro apps

Hi there, I have a similar imperfection which showed up upgrading to creators pack 2. When I search for Window store apps, (i.e. Mail, Calculator, Feedback, Edge) with Cortana, I always get blank icons. The app icons appear if I dock them to start or to task bar and they all work. It's only the icon that is missing when I search.

I have tried rebuilding search index, reinstalling whatever apps I can actually reinstall (like mail) and what was suggested above, but it does not fix it. Any ideas?

I have reported it to Microsoft via feedback app, but wondering if anyone else has been able to manually fix it.
