  1. Missing application icon


    Xbox app logo won’t appear. I had this issue with discord but I was able to uninstall and reinstall and the logo came back. I can still open the application but I can’t run any games through it(it either says “you can’t run this app” or opens and closes immediately). I’ve tried reinstalling the app, the game and restarting my pc. I know it’s not corrupted files either cause I ran the scan. I believe it’s a missing file because I recently got an SSD and was moving stuff around so if any of you know how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

    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.
