    Hi,

    You can rebuild the icon cache which is under %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer. Please follow these steps.

    1. Open Command Prompt as administrator from the start menu.
    2. Run taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe to stop explorer.
    3. Run del %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache* to delete the icon cache files.
    4. Run start explorer.exe to start explorer and the icon cache should be rebuilt automatically.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
