Hi all,

We are having some strange behavior in our Operations and Finance teams.
On all of them the notifications icons are missing after an update what update i cannot tell

So, i did the following what i can find on google.com as )resolution)

1. CMD with administrator rights
   sfc /scannow = NOK
2. CMD with administrator rights

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

we cannot create new profiles, since we have a lot of people with APX batches, and special assignments to their accounts._

_*What else we did:

1. **Also removed both regkeys under root folder iconstreams and pasticonstream = NOK

2. cleanup of the disk drive = NOK.*_

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Regarding the problem of "taskbar display icon", please try the following method.

Start "Task Manager", find "Windows Explorer", right-click and restart to see if the problem can be solved.

If it cannot be solved, you can try the following solution:

Create a new txt file, enter the following six commands, and save. Change the file suffix to .bat, right-click and run as an administrator.

rem Close explorer.exe

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

attrib -h -i %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db

del %userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db /a

rem Open explorer

start explorer

Rebuild icon cache

1. Press "Windows logo key + R", enter "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer", and press Enter.
2. In the opened folder, you can see files like iconcache_32.db, iconcache_48.db, iconcache_96.db, iconcache_256.db, iconcache_1024.db, iconcache_1280.db, iconcache_1600.db, iconcache_1920.db, iconcache_2560.db, iconcache_exif.db, iconcache_idx.db, iconcache_sr.db, iconcache_wide.dd, iconcache_wide_alternate.db.
3. Delete all these files to rebuild the Windows 10 icon cache and see if this problem can be solved.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards

Zunhui
