Hi,

I am facing problem as the Progress Bar keep running (green) after the optional windows update of KB455094 though I have deleted it but the problem remain same. Even Explorer can not be open unless I reboot computer whenever I have to access folders in Explorer.

Therefore, I thought How to Rebuild Icon Cache, Clear Thumbnail cache in Windows 10, may be that can solve the problem. Because Desktop Icon mostly get white (no image) Jpeg or SVG file no thumbnail.

So, question is,

Is it safe and how to Rebuild Icon Cache, Clear Thumbnail cache in Windows 10?

Thank you very much in advance.
