Windows Icon bug

Question

I got an issue with the icons. Today I turn on my pc like 1 or 2 p.m. and my Icons are gone.

I tried to delete the IconCache-db and run the sfc /scannow command but it doesn't worked.

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for your reply.

Open Settings >> System >> Recovery, and use Windows Update to fix the problem. Try repairing your system to see if that resolves the icon error.

Answer 2

Hello,

Create a .txt file on your desktop, enter the following content, and save it. Change the .txt format to .bat, then right-click and open it as administrator.

Deep clean the icon cache to see if that resolves the issue.

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
attrib -h -s -r "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\IconCache.db"
attrib /s /d -h -s -r "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\*"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_32.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_96.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_102.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_256.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_1024.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_idx.db"
del /f "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\thumbcache_sr.db"
