Windows 10: Windows icon turned blue and I can't click on it

I don't know why it turned blue.

I don't think I did anything to cause this.

I'm running a antivirus scan now.

If it doesn't resolve itself I will shut it down and hope its ok.


Win10 X64 has all the windows updates as were needed.

In the Windows Explorer list or desktop?

 

Remove yellow/blue sheild icon from shortcuts


After upgrading to Windows 10, some desktop shortcuts have UAC shield icons. Is it possible to remove them?





EDIT: Here's a solution...
Launch the shortcuts via CMD:

1. Right-click the shortcut to Properties
2. Click Change Icon, then click OK when its window pops up (necessary step to avoid losing the icon)
3. Add the following, plus a space, to the beginning of the Target field, leaving the existing path at the end:
   Code:
   
   Code:

   cmd /c start ""

I had previously solved this by editing a system icon file, but that method doesn't seem to be working as of update 1607, plus it was a lot more trouble.
