    Icons Blank/Missing After Windows Update


    I noticed this too but not on any Office or Store Apps. This worked for me, for the few that were affected with a blank page icon- go to Program Files, locate the exe for, say, VLC, and right click send shortcut to desktop. That will display correct icon. Drag shortcut to All Apps list or pin to taskbar and click replace, if prompted. The rebuild icon tutorial suggested may help with the Store or Office apps. Good Luck

    I created an icon a while back to suggest it for replacement with a black PCB.

    Icons Blank/Missing After Windows Update


    Thank you all for your responses. =)
    I assume you mean C:\Users as C:\Windows\users does not exist, but there don't seem to be any changes here. Note that the shortcuts still all work, just they are missing their icons - hence why Skype was shown in the taskbar with a blank file icon. File associations are still the same too, although I did notice the new Windows 10 Photos app is the default for most image types - I had previously set it to the old Windows Photo Viewer.
    I've already tried this and it did not work. It's basically the same as the Superuser Post, but I've added it to the list of thing's I've tried.
    This fixes the appearance of the shortcuts, but when they're on the taskbar or searched for using the start menu they look the same.
