    Why are all default icons now black after updating?


    I updated windows 11 to 24H2, but after updating, all the icons are now black. Note that there was no issue before updating, and I didn't install any apps after updating.Default shortcuts like 'This PC', 'Recycle Bin' etc are now completely black, while downloaded apps have the arrow in the corner replaced by black. Even in explorer, all the icons are black.And also, the icons sometimes turn transparent, but not as frequently.I tried restarting explorer, and graphics drivers. I also noticed that the startup sound is completely gone. Can anyone fix this?

    :)

    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.

  3. Remove Linux Desktop Icons

    I am not sure whether this will work (Ubuntu does not have icons like that on the desktop by default), but I suggest opening the trash bin and sweeping the icons into the window showing the trash bin.
