    N8 and several software icons missing - not a reboot issue

    Hi,

    On my N8 several software icons are missing and reboot of the device will not help on this. This issue started after the first Anna update. Some icons that are missing are old SW installations before Anna update, but also some of the new software installations
    are missing icons too. Some random icons are missing from main view and software menu too. To move the icon from one location/folder to other will not help to get icon(s) back. To start the target SW by pointing an empty icon works. Scrolling a long view on
    having several icons + missing icons was very slow and after I moved all missing icons to separate view/folder scrolling the main SW view is now ok but missing icons dilemma is not solved. Attached image is from the folder to where is moved all missing icons.
    Damn, I don´t wan't to reset the device.

    It looks like this

    If so you need to re-install Segoe UI font / Segoe MDL2 Assets font. Segoe MDL2 Assets replaces Segoe UI font in Windows 10. Guidelines for Segoe MDL2 icons - Windows app development

    You could try downloading this font (in the zip below), unzip and double click to install. The Segoe UI font (which may still be used by some older programs) is on the first link above if you find you need that as well.

    I ran the Segoe MDL2 font installer, same problem. However, it seems to work in the icon dock but not in the mute or on the lockscreen
