    it wasn't my first time I've encountered this, It happened same thing on every updates. So knew I'd need to rebuild icon and thumbnail cache once again so I following this steps...

    After few restart, it did not solve my issues issues, It did not rebuild cache but went for worst. Now I got I got a blank icon/thumbnails on taskbar (left of screen) and it seem to happen only on windows store app (i.e. calendar, mail, photo previewer and etc..) not the third party programs.

    I also have issues with images (almost most image format) showing paper white thumbnails, instead of previewer or default icon.

    I cannot fathom how this happen. I've spend hours goggling for solution, done many different methods on rebuilding icon and reboot pc 50+ times. Went through recovery and rollback version. sfc /scannow DISM. virus screening, disk cleaning and etc none of it detect my issues and its driving me nuts.
    Instead of having to reset windows and reinstall many of 3rd parties program again I was hoping there are solution. Would anyone by any chance know what the issues are? Thanks in advance.

    White icons on taskbar, how to fix?

    I am running Windows 7. All of my icons on the taskbar just to the right of the Start button look like white paper. How can I get them back? I cannot launch any of my programs because the icons do not work. It will say, "The item you selected is unavailable.
    It might have been moved, renamed or removed. Do you want to remove it from the list?" I have to go to the Start Menu and find the program there to launch it. I saw a similar post for Windows 8 but it did not work for me.
