Windows 10: Outdated UWP Icons

I've seen a couple os posts mentioning Windows UWP icons to be outdated, but any of the solutions suggested worked for me.


In my case, the icons for XBox Game Bar, Windows Security and Settings apps are outdated, all the others I have installed on my PC are up to date.


I already tried:

- Create a new user

- Cleaning the icon cache at “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer”

- Running SFC /Scannow

Also, in the last couple of months for a few reasons I had to format and fresh install Windows 10 about 3 times, and in all the times I reinstalled, it is always these 3 UWP app icons that are outdated. Doesn't matter if I reinstall logging into my Microsoft account during the installation process, or creating a brand new user and only after, logging into my account.


Any other suggestions of what could be making these icons to be outdated?

UWP app icons in Windows 10 build 14316 are corrupt

As you can see, the Win32 app icons are completely fine, but all of the UWP app icons are corrupted. They almost appear as if they're running in some sort of safe mode.

Any suggestions?

 

UWP icons are missing

I noticed that Micrsoft Edge was missing the taskbar icon, and then noticed all UWP apps are missing their icons. You can see this clearly in this screenshot of the lock screen settings:





Things tried:

• Tried repairing Windows using DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc /scannow, but they didn't find any problems.
  
• Reinstalling Edge with the following command didn't help either: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -verbose}
  
• updating my graphics drivers to no avail.
  
• chkdsk C: /f /r /x
  
• Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage then reboot and follow with Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode} and reboot again.
  
• Try and delete %AppData%..\Local\IconCache.db then restart.
  
• Rebuild a Broken Icon Cache in Windows 10 - "To rebuild the icon cache, you have to delete all the iconcache files that appear in this folder": \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
  

Any idea what the problem might be, or suggestions on how to get the icons back?

Windows 10 Pro, 1709; OS Build 16299.192.
