    Windows 10 wrong icons displayed on status bar corrupted icon cache


    All icons of 3rd party programs installed on my PC, including Zoom, VS Code, Python Runtime or Node.js and others are missing until running following:


    ie4uinit.exe -show


    Icon showed in taskbar are like this:


    Windows 10 wrong icons displayed on status bar corrupted icon cache 74067e11-78fc-4eca-b29f-7745b01924ea?upload=true.png


    I tried running both


    sfc /scannow


    and


    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth


    But those don't help.


    I was running Windows 10: Version 20H2 OS Build 19042.867, updated to newest version and problem persisted. Then I updated to Insiders Windows 10: Version 21H1 OS Build 19043.899 and problem is still there. What's strange, it only appears when the Taskbar setting Combine Taskbar Buttons is set to Always, Hide Labels, otherwise icons are displayed normally.


    Should I try formatting my device? I would love to avoid doing that, as this is my main development workstation right now, and setting up all the tools will take the whole day.

    :)

    Windows 10 desktop icons not in order

    In ccleaner, did you uncheck cleaning the icon cache... have not used in a while; however, I think that is what the option is called.

    Now, if you are setting the icons and they move after you have set the settings and not changed them... you may have the "Random Windows 10 Icon movement problem".
    Some people have this and some don't.

    Here is a thread on the problem at Windows10 forums: Windows 10: Folder View Settings and Desktop Icon Positions Not Saving

    Wrong wi-fi icon?

    Does it show the small red cross over any connection icon under Network Connections (Windows + R -> ncpa.cpl)? If it does, disable that one and see if the task-bar icon remains the same.

    Weird drive icons - Windows 7

    It is possibly you (may) have a virus/malware.
    It is always safe to do a scan with a good A/V program and a good anti-malware program.

    However, if, they do not turn up any problems... you might want to try this fix --> Icons change incorrectly in Windows

    Edit:

    The Windows Club has Icon Cache Rebuilder, which you can try.

    Run a scan of your system files, too. This should check and make sure your system files are not compromised (which shell32.dll is one of and contains the systems icons).
    To do this run this command (without quotation marks) from a Administrative command prompt --> "sfc /scannow" (be sure to put a space between the "c" and "/")
    It is explained here --> Use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7
