    Rebuild Icon Cache no longer effective


    I recently upgraded to Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.610.
    Shortly after that a number of icons on my desktop went blank. Properties displays still show correct icons.
    Tried running Rebuild_Icon_Cache batch file supplied in the tutorials but no success.
    Any ideas?

    :)

    Rebuild Icon Cache in Windows 10  


    Hello, this method does not seem to work for the displayed icons on the Start Menu programs list, I've tried several times and it stills shows old icons, I think these icons are cached in another way, do you perchance know how to refresh them?

    Talking about these:

    Safe way to rebuild icon cache in windows 8.1?

    Hi people, I've noticed the Task Scheduler icon on my desktop is "low quality"

    Rebuild Icon Cache no longer effective shortcut-task-scheduler-jpg.jpg

    Now I found this on the internet: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/rebuild-the-icon-cache-windows

    How to purge and rebuild the icon cache I would have to go to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local folder and delete the hidden IconCache.db file.

    Is this safe to do this?
    I don't want to mess up my system.

    Anyone tried this before on windows 8.1?

    Thanks!
