    Windows 10 white blank icons everywehre


    First of all, i tried every internet posted solution to restore icons by clearing icon cache and running countless command prompts.

    Nothing helped.

    I dont want to run update. I like my computer working please. Update your self, see how you like it.

    I am including a screenshot of Devices and Printers, Pictures, and some scripts.


    Icons are blank for random locations, not on the desktop. Desktop icons are fine. Its the icons that are in folders on my other drives.

    When i was uploading this picture, it was also white blank, but on my desktop this picture actually does have a correct preview thumbnail.

    Is there a solution ?

    :)

    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.

    Blank Thumbnails on Taskbar and Paper white images icon


    Hi, After the recent update 1709 -- (The fall update I think) I've encounter issues with thumbnail previewer. I does not show thumbnail images but default icon instead

    Windows 10 white blank icons everywehre [​IMG]


    it wasn't my first time I've encountered this, It happened same thing on every updates. So knew I'd need to rebuild icon and thumbnail cache once again so I following this steps...

    After few restart, it did not solve my issues issues, It did not rebuild cache but went for worst. Now I got I got a blank icon/thumbnails on taskbar (left of screen) and it seem to happen only on windows store app (i.e. calendar, mail, photo previewer and etc..) not the third party programs.

    I also have issues with images (almost most image format) showing paper white thumbnails, instead of previewer or default icon.

    I cannot fathom how this happen. I've spend hours goggling for solution, done many different methods on rebuilding icon and reboot pc 50+ times. Went through recovery and rollback version. sfc /scannow DISM. virus screening, disk cleaning and etc none of it detect my issues and its driving me nuts.
    Instead of having to reset windows and reinstall many of 3rd parties program again I was hoping there are solution. Would anyone by any chance know what the issues are? Thanks in advance.

    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...
