Windows 10: Windows 10 apps icons cannot display properly in the search bar.

Win32 apps can be displayed correctly, but UWP apps cannot.



I've tried to fix by removing the "IconCache.db" but the problem still exists.
Is there a way to reinstall the "Search" app?

Corrupt cortana not displaying properly

As per my below image, when I open cortana the display does not look right. There are three options under "can I be of assistance?" (or one of the other sayings things it puts there) which only become visible when I hover over them. I don't believe this is the proper behavior. Also in the "pick up where I left off" section it just oddly shows icons of the program I was using and doesn't give the name of the file. I don't believe this is the correct behavior either. Clicking on one of the icons opens up a recent file.

I tried following these steps with no luck - Reinstall and Re-register Cortana in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials

Any other suggestions are welcome.
