Windows 10: Windows Store Icon Not Changed on One Computer

Like the title says. The Windows Store icon has changed on two of my three computers. I assume it was tied to an update but afaict all three have the same updates.

edit: I see the computer that the icon hasn't changed failed to install KB4032188, which did have issues it seems, but I assume the next cumulative update that did install contained what was in that one.

Windows 10 Store icon reverts back to old icon

I just upgraded one of my computers to Windows 10 and everything was fine right afterwards but what I noticed is that after a while, the store icon(and the Groove icon too) reverts back to the old icon which is the one with your accent color as a background
on the icon instead of a transparent background. Why did this happen and how would I fix it? It's not a major problem but just a little strange that my main PC has the new store icon while my other one did have the new one too but then changed back to the
old one.

 

Windows 10 start menu app icons wrong can't delete app.

I found out how to fix the icons and make the icons be correct.

Step 1) Open the start Menu.

Step 2) Go to the All Apps. Scroll and select the Programs Icon you want to change. You must change the program in the All Apps as any other way it does not work.

Step 3) right click on the program and select "open file location."

Step 4) In the File Explorer Window right click on the shortcut and select "properties."

Step 5) Click "Change Icon." Change the Icon to any other Icon than the one currently selected. Click apply.

Step 6) Re-select "Change Icon" and change the Icon to the correct one. After clicking apply the correct Icon should show up under All Apps and on any tiles you have pinned to the start menu.

At least this worked for me.

Now I have to figure out how to delete a tile that doesn't want to go and how to get the store working on another computer.

 

Hi, it's more that the Store (app) hasn't been updated. Apps are updated on a 4 hourly schedule by default, separately from Windows system files ('Windows updates').

 

Its been way more than four hours. Computer A and B updated days ago. Computer C has not. Computer C is on the most of them all.

How do I force the icon to change?

 

That there's an update scan ever 4 hours doesn't mean it couldn't have been much longer ago that it changed.

Whilst you can create your own store shortcut by dragging it from the Start menu, this isn't likely to be much help to you.

 

Hence my question as to why it hasn't updated. There is obviously something wrong. It "should" have easily updated on its own by now.

When you have three (really four but one isn't in use atm) computers configured exactly the same and two do what they are supposed to do its pretty logical imo to assume something is wrong with the the one that hasn't.

Something may not be configured right on the odd computer but darn if I can figure it out. An icon not changing isn't the biggest deal but what issue is it really telling me there is?

 

I see what you mean- what's your Store version?

(It took mine a while before it was updated compared to forum reports)

You could try a manual scan from within the Store app




And check the update list - you should see updates within the last day if updates are being applied.

 

I have auto app updates disabled, maybe that's it? But I thought that was for apps within the store/on my computer. Not the store itself.

 

That was it. Updated the Store app and the icon changed immediately. I could swear I had app auto updates disabled on my other computers but I guess not. Thanks for the help.

 

Great- glad it was easy. Note the Store tile is now 'dead'.

 

Which tile? The one in Start (or whatever its called) works as does the taskbar shortcut.

 

Well.. you must have paid extra! Mine doesn't - it was ok before the update, and I've tried turning live tile on and off. I've seen others mention the same. Anyway.. I'm not too bothered!

 

I'll have to check the other computers. I don't even use the Windows Store, well maybe once or twice for apps, just wanted the icon to be right. I know some said they don't like it but I think its better than the old one.
