Windows 10: Windows Store apps icons not showing in search bar.

Hi.

Since some time, my windows apps icons in the search box doesn't show up.


This only happens with windows store installed apps, and for the store itself.





Do someone have an idea on how to fix this? I really have no clue.

Thanks :

Cortana search does not show icons for metro apps


Hi there, I have a similar imperfection which showed up upgrading to creators pack 2. When I search for Window store apps, (i.e. Mail, Calculator, Feedback, Edge) with Cortana, I always get blank icons. The app icons appear if I dock them to start or to task bar and they all work. It's only the icon that is missing when I search.

I have tried rebuilding search index, reinstalling whatever apps I can actually reinstall (like mail) and what was suggested above, but it does not fix it. Any ideas?

I have reported it to Microsoft via feedback app, but wondering if anyone else has been able to manually fix it.
