  1. Windows 10 Search not refreshing old icons.


    Windows 10 Search keeps showing old icons for all apps. If an app get an update with a new icon, the icon get refreshed automatically everywhere, except Windows Search Box Result.Tried a lot of tweaks such as Resetting Windows Search through Powershell, Rebuilding Search Index, Rebuilding Icon cache, Saving thumbnail from Advanced System Settings but nothing worked. The icons won't refresh automatically after app updates. Though, Changing Text and Images from 100% to 125%>Restart>Change back from 125% to 100% refreshes the icons, but it is atemporary solution only. Icons don't get refreshed later after any app updates. Please help me with a permanent solution.

    :)

  3. Windows Search Index (Icons refreshing)

    I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue that I believe has to do with Windows Search Index. The issue is that the icons are blinking/refreshing around every 30 seconds to a minute. The icons on the desktop, and the ones pinned to the taskbar refresh. If I disable the Windows Search service the issue stops. I've tried rebuilding the Search Index, but the issue still persists if I turn the service back on. Any possible thoughts?
