Windows 10: Office 2019 Word icons gone from doc files after Windows 10 update

1. New ThinkPad X1 Carbon with Windows 10
2. Installed Office 2010 - everything fine
3. Installed Office 2019 still all good
4. Uninstalled Word and Excel 2010 - no problems
5. After some weeks Office 2019 turned into Office 2016 and Word docs became generic plain icons but still opened with Word
6. Tried every solution I could find in the internet including tweaking the registry
7. Removed Office 2010 using Programs and Features
8. Everything was fixed- Office 2019 back and Word icons back
9. Then after just a couple of days I got a Windows 10 update and Word icons on Word docs disappeared again and as well Excel file icons and Office start menu icons disappeared except for Skype and one other (Outlook?)

10.An Office online repair got the Start Menu icons and the Excel files ones back but not the Word doc icons

11.Downloaded the Office removal tool and totally removed Office 2019

12.Reinstalled 2019 and no Word Doc icons as well as no more OneNote program even though one note files on desktop did have OneNote icons

13.Downloaded OneNote from Microsoft Store

14.Everything seems to be working now but still no Word icons on docs, just plain generic ones. But they do open in Word

15.I have deleted the iconstore several times and that has not helped

1. Also made sure that this registry entry is correct “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\wordicon.exe,13”

17.I am relatively new to Windows 10 and it says I cannot undo the Windows updates because they are more than 10 days old which does not even seem to be true.

18.Windows Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041

Word icon missing from all docs in Office 2019 Pro Plus

I have Windows 10, 2004 19041.502. I'm new with windows 10 and I installed my old Office 2010. I then installed Office 2019. I removed the old Word and Excel and left the rest of 2010 on the laptop for now. At some point later for unknown reason, my 2019 became Office 2016. I followed the instructions to repair both online and offline many times and I could could not get 2019 back. But also the Word icon disappeared from all my word docs both on the desktop and in folders. Somehow I finally got Office 2019 back although the Onenote icon has 2016 next to it. No big deal. But what is driving me absolutely insane is that I cannot get the 2019 Word icon, or any Word icon to replace these generic blank icons. I have googled for a week and tried all the repairs, even going into the registry but all to no avail. Anyone know how to fix this? I have seen in my searches that other people have the same problem with the Word icon. My Office is MS Office Pro Plus 2019
