    Windows Search Icons Not Displaying Properly G8RjNgOk8Yq6Yo7zVhq4vP0mIw3OE2Sb5BsXPEp1BIk.jpg

    Hey there Redditors.

    So I realized my Windows Search thumbnails are busted. The apps themselves are fine. If I click the Windows Key and scroll to the app I want, the icons are there - but whenever I click the Search here for an application it displays these icons:

    Searching for any application displays the same icon, which is strange because, besides the Windows Search messing it up, everything else is fine. Windows is completely updated. This is purely a Q.o.L fix.

    Not sure how to go about fixing this. Any help is appreciated - thank you for taking the time to read this!

  4. Windows Search Icons Not Displaying Properly

    Some icons will not display properly

    Hi,

    Having blank application icons on your desktop can be caused by many factors such as file corruption, icon cache issues, and more. To narrow down the issue, we need to ask a few questions:

    • Were there any changes made to your computer settings prior to this issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have your done so far?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you reset the Windows Explorer process from
    Task Manager which may correct this type of issue. Below are the steps to do it:

    • Right-click on your task bar, then choose Task Manager.
    • Highlight Windows Explorer on the Processes
      tab.
    • Click Restart.

    You can also try running the System File Checker tool and
    Deployment Image Servicing and Management
    with the steps on this
    link
    . This will scan and correct system file corruption which may be causing your icons to be blank.

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue.

    Regards.
