    Phone Link apps icons turn to gray squares - but the apps still launch


    HiI'm finding that in the Phone Link Apps panel my app icons gradually all turn from the proper coloured icons into gray squares. Initially just a few, eventually all of them, see screenshot.Any idea why this is happening? and how to stop it? Memory is not particularly stressed 50-60% in use, CPU less than 20%, disk SSD not busy.If I shut down Windows and restart it goes back to normal, then gradually loses them againPhone Link 1.23092.151.0Windows 11 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎29/‎11/‎2022 OS build 22621.2506 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22677.1000.0 regardsSteve

    I find it amusing how the app suggests to turn off all detail settings in LoL. What PC did they run it on, some gray box from the 90ies?
