Windows 10: UWP Icons are Broken

Hi, I noticed that when I do a search for a UWP App. Their icons are broken. How to fix this?


See example below:

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.

 

Broken Icons Appearing

Hi Nick,

We still can't identify what causing this broken icons issue. To get more closely at the root cause, we need additional information:

• When did the issue start?
• Have you made any changes prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Does it happen to all the apps icon you are trying to search?

We look forward to your response.

 

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?
