    Icons appear as a white square

    Hi

    Have you been adding or removing any fonts on that system recently?

    Those blank squares are usually shown as Symbol Fonts, you can see them in the Character Map.

    Press the WinKey+R to display the Run dialog, type
    charmap and press OK. This will open the
    Character Map    .

    Press the down arrow at the top of the windows to display the
    Fonts list. Scroll down and select the Segoe UI Symbol font. Scroll down and take a look at some of those symbols. You will see these symbols being used extensively in Windows 8x and 10.

    If any of these fonts are removed or replaced with a different font, you will see those blank squares.

    Regards

    Icons appear as a white square

    Hello.

    So I have this problem ,every icon or symbol appears like a square.

    I can't identify them.

    Every icon in any program appears like this white blank square and I can't solve it, I don't know where to search.

    I hope you can help me

    Speaker MUTE Key and ICON

    The suggestions about restarting the explorer.exe and running sfc didn't fix the problem. I don't think there is a
    corruped file becuase the mute switch worked fine until the day I upgraded from 7 to 10.

    I ran a copy of Linux Live and the mute icon works fine, going back to win 10 the mute switch is always on regardless the postilion of the speaker mute key, the ICON is always on.
