Windows 10: Why are tiles/icons being auto selecting and toggled through. They also have a white or...

This occurs after exiting games. Apps or the start menu will toggle through all the icons/things you can select.

Windows 10 tiles are blank / white with no thumbnail icons!

Hi All

Running Windows 10 operating system... I have the same issue but on my desktop and Taskbar at the bottom of the screen... White Box Icon... If I click the start it shows the correct icon but if I open it from there it shows white on the task bar...

Tried this:

Method 1: You may also try to enable or disable the thumbnail preview using group policy editor.

Follow the steps to do so:

• Press Windows and R key together to open the run box.
• Type “gpedit.msc” in the box and hit Enter.
• Now, navigate to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, and Start Menu and Taskbar in left pan of Group Policy Editor.
• Locate “Turn off Taskbar Thumbnails” in right pane of Group policy editor and double click on it.
• Select Disable and click on Apply and then on OK.
• Check if you are able to view the images.

But computer said no file found...

 

Cannot change desktop icon

Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

To change it to the icon I want, I go:

1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
3. Click OK
4. Click Apply

But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
