    White, blank, desktop icons


    Hello,


    My problem is this: All of the desktop icons for websites that I have loaded on my desktop suddenly all turned to white, blank icons. They were installed using the drag & drop method, which also no longer seems to work. What is the solution? I have tried to remove my local icon cache and reinstall, but that didn't work. Please help.

    White blank icons on desktop and in program tree.

    I have this problem sometimes. It seems the icon cache database is corrupted for some reasons. I use the following steps to restore all white blank icons.

    1. Start command prompt (WindowKey + R, type cmd)

    2. In command prompt type "cd %userprofile%\appdata\local"

    3. In command prompt type "del iconcache.db /a"

    4. Start taskmanager (WindowKey + R, type taskmgr)

    5. Find Windows Explorer and Right click | End Task

    6. In taskmanager select File | New Task then type explorer

    You should now fix all white blank icons on desktop.

    I am having the same issue but also with Microsoft apps. The icon is blank. I wanted to put icons from the Start Menu onto the desktop for easy access and some apps have blank white icons. The icons work, but there is no image. Apps with blank icons
    include OneNote, Groove Music, Photos, Camera, Fresh Paint, Movies&TV, Twitter, Phone Companion, and OneDrive. These are actually ALL Microsoft apps. Please help.

    White, blank, desktop icons

    desktop icons blank

    When I first boot up, all my desktop icons are blank/white. They will all gradually appear but it takes some time. My second home computer does not exhibit this problem. Both PCs are running Windows 10 PRO and are current with all updates. Does anyone
    have a suggestion, please?
