    Missing icons


    I changed icon spacing and vertical spacing to -1000 in the registry and rebooted. Now all the icons on the desktop except one have disappeared. How can I fix this? Unfortunately I have OneCloud on my computer which may have a roll in this!

    :)

    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
