    Searching for programs in start menu gives default icons


    I just reset my PC last night because a recent windows update caused an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE loop (thanks Microsoft!).

    Now, after reinstalling everything, my icons look like this (https://imgur.com/fhwkjyQ).

    I've tried to clear the icon cache multiple times, restart, etc, but nothing seems to do it.

    Anyone know a fix?

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

    I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    Hey guys I need your help fixing the default access icon on the start menu, as far as google searches suggested default user access and all it only fixes the IE icon, but when I chose fire fox to display it's just a globe when clicked on it still displays IE's properties but doesn't start firefox instead. Help please? *Respect :respect:*Cry :cry:

    BTW it was not like this before, I just wanted a clean install for my browser.

    Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

    @oil: That's what I did, but unfortunately it's different, it should be like "Internet" and should have the icon of FireFox.

    So.. Remove the icon via Start menu properties, uninstall FF (again) and install?
