    Some shortcut icons appear as blank pages


    I have mostly shortcuts to PowerPoint files on my desktop. When I create the shortcuts by right clicking on the file, selecting create a shortcut, and then dragging the shortcut onto the desktop, more often than not the shortcut icon on the desktop appears as just a blank sheet of "paper" with the shortcut arrow. Other times the shortcut icon looks like the first page of the presentation. Not a critical problem right now, but curious why this is happening and how I can fix it. Running Windows 10 and Office 365 with all updates on a Dell laptop. Thank you.

    :)

    I know I am quite late but as I was scrolling through I saw this post which happened to one of friend too. This sometimes happens with Windows. Usually a reboot will solve the problem. However if this doesn't, try setting the icon for the shortcut(right-click pinned icon, right-click program, left-click properties, select "change icon...") or refreshing it by switching to a different icon, applying it, and then reverting back to the original icon. Remove the shortcut from the taskbar and replace it with the start menu shortcut or simply drag the .exe file to the taskbar.
